Substitute Teacher Assignment

Introduction

The overriding concern is to provide the best possible coverage of students and classes during the absence of a teacher or instructional aide.  The Director of Education will maintain a recruitment program to attract competent individuals who are able to meet the needs of the students enrolled at school.

To ensure the most qualified substitute is designated to serve in a particular situation, the Director of Educa­tion needs the greatest possible lead time to secure that person.  Teachers must notify the Director or designee at the earliest possible time about an impending absence and the possible length of time of the absence.

3. For a continuing illness, please report to the Director of Education by 4pm if you will be out another day or are returning to work.
