410.1 SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS

The board recognizes the need for substitute teachers.  Substitute teachers shall be licensed to teach in Iowa.

It shall 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 shall be the responsibility of the building principal to fill absences with substitute teachers immediately.

Substitute teachers will be paid a per diem rate.  Substitutes employed for 10 or more consecutive days in the same position shall be paid according to the salary on BA-1 of the salary schedule.  Substitute licensed employees are expected to perform the same duties as the licensed employees.
