Rosters of volunteer substitute teachers shall be established by area of certification. Additionally, a school-wide roster of volunteer substitute teachers shall be established. All rosters of volunteer substitute teachers shall list, by unassigned time, the names of volunteer substitute teachers in alphabetical order. Teachers who volunteer to have their names added to the rosters of volunteer substitute teachers after the first week of school shall have their names placed alphabetically on the rosters beginning at the end of the original list. All teachers listed on the rosters of volunteer substitute teachers shall be obligated to accept assignments of the principal during the school year. When a principal assigns teachers from the rosters of volunteer substitute teachers, he/she shall make assignments first from the roster of volunteer substitute teachers with the same area of certification as the absent teacher. If there are insufficient names on the roster of volunteer substitute teachers in the area of certification, the principal shall then assign teachers from the school-wide roster of volunteer substitute teachers. All assignments from the rosters of volunteer substitute teachers shall be on a rotating basis by alphabetical order. Rosters of volunteer substitute teachers shall be made available to teachers and the Union for inspection upon request. If for any reason there is an insufficient number of teachers on the rosters of volunteer substitute teachers to cover the assignments of absent teachers, the principal shall utilize teachers in his/her school during their unassigned time for emergency coverage on a rotating basis by alphabetical order. The number of coverages assigned to each teacher including those who have been absent for five (5) consecutive days or less shall be equal to, or nearly so, to other teachers provided that said make-up coverage necessary to attain said equalization is fairly, reasonably, and equitably assigned by the principal. Teachers who are absent in excess of five (5) consecutive school days shall be exempted from said make-up coverage...
