Substitute Teachers

 

The Superintendent or a designee 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-certified teacher is unavailable.

 

A substitute teacher may teach only for a period not to exceed 90 paid school days or 450 paid hours in any one school district in any school term.  However, a teacher holding an early childhood, elementary, secondary, or special certificate may substitute for 120 days or 600 paid hours in any one school district in any one school term.

 

The School Board annually establishes a daily rate of pay for substitute teachers.  No fringe benefits are given substitutes.
