Substitute Placement Service. Teachers unable to carry on their duties, as a result of illness or any other cause, shall give at least one and one half (1.5) hours’ notice to the Substitute Placement Service before school assembles, so that proper substitutes may be obtained. Before returning to duty, the absentee teacher shall notify the Substitute Placement Service of such intended return. If returning for the morning sessions, the notification must be given by 7:00 a.m. and for the afternoon session, before 11:00 a.m. Other than where a previous arrangement has been made with the superintendent specifying the date and time of return, failure to observe this regulation will result in the loss to the teacher of one-half (1/2) day’s salary of a substitute teacher, whether a substitute is required or not. Provided however that the superintendent may, at their discretion, after investigating the circumstances, waive the charging of a substitute teacher’s salary.
