The board recognizes the need for substitute teachers. Substitute teachers will be licensed through the Board of Educational Examiners.
It will be the responsibility of the building principal to maintain a list of substitute teachers who may be called upon to replace regular contract licensed employees. Individuals whose names do not appear on this list will not be employed as a substitute without specific approval of the superintendent. It will be the responsibility of the building principal to fill absences with substitute teachers immediately.
Definition:
