Substitute Coverage Compensation. A reasonable effort will be made to secure a regular substitute for an absent unit member before a regular teacher is asked to substitute. Names of teachers who volunteer to serve as substitutes during their regular preparation periods shall be placed on a list which shall be kept current. In making an assignment to replace an absent teacher, the principal will first exhaust this volunteer list before assigning another teacher. When making substitute coverage assignments, the building principal will attempt to equitably assign across available personnel, when practicable, while serving the best interests of the absent teacher’s students. However, the building principal will attempt to exhaust all other reasonable substitute coverage options prior to assigning intervention specialists, Title teachers or non-classroom teachers (as defined by Article I – Recognition) to substitute when such coverage would not fall within that individual’s duty time.
