General Personnel
Substitute Teachers
The Superintendent may employ substitute teachers as necessary to replace teachers who are temporarily absent.
A substitute teacher must hold a valid teaching or substitute certificate. Substitute teachers with a substitute certificate may teach only when an appropriate, fully-certificated teacher is unavailable.
A substitute teacher with a substitute certificate may teach only for a period not to exceed 90 paid school days or 450 paid school hours in any one school district in any one school term. However, a teacher holding an early childhood, elementary, high school, or special certificate may substitute teach for a period not to exceed 120 paid school days or 600 paid school hours in any one school district in any one school term, unless the subject area is one where the Regional Superintendent has certified that a personnel shortage exists. A substitute teacher who has retired through the Teachers Retirement System may substitute teach for a period not to exceed 100 paid school days or 500 paid school hours in any one school term.
The School Board establishes a daily rate of pay for substitute teachers. Substitute teachers receive only monetary compensation for time worked and no other benefits.
