In the case of a short term absence, five consecutive work days or less, the Principal Substitute may be appointed from teachers in the building by the Administration. The selected teacher shall have a minimum of five (5) years teaching experience in the district. The substitute will receive a stipend equal to the amount established for a substitute teacher's daily rate, including TRS, in addition to their regular salary. The cost of an external substitute will not exceed the cost of the internal substitute.
