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 or designee 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 or designee to fill absences with substitute teachers immediately.
Substitute teachers will be paid a per diem rate accroding to the Fee and Subtitute Schedule set by the board each year. Substitutes employed for five or more consecutive days in the same position shall be paid according to the rate according to the annual Fee and Substitute Schedule set by the board. Substitute licensed employees are expected to perform the same duties as the licensed employees.
