Substitute Teacher Coverage. 11.3.1 Both parties to the collective agreement recognize the importance of continuity of instruction by the regular classroom teacher in the creation of a quality learning environment for students.
Substitute Teacher Coverage. Every school will maintain a list of the current teachers, for the purpose of providing classroom coverage for an absent teacher when a substitute is not available. Secondary teachers may volunteer during their prep period and will be compensated on a prorated rate of $30.00 per hour (60 minutes). In the event volunteers are not sufficient to cover missing substitutes, the school will use its lists of current teachers who will be required to provide an absent teacher coverage on a rotating basis. Teachers may refuse absent teacher coverage once per quarter. Elementary teachers who take five (5) students from splitting a class, when a substitute is not available, will receive $10.00 per hour for covering said students. It may become necessary that an elementary school cannot divide an absent teacher’s class among multiple classrooms. Teachers who take on the entire class of a colleague in order to teach both classes simultaneously will be paid $20 per hour. Any teacher who agrees to teach for an absent colleague for three or more consecutive days, will receive an additional $30 each day for class preparation starting on the third day, and continuing thereafter for each consecutive day.

In the event volunteers are not sufficient to cover missing substitutes, the school will use its lists of current teachers who will be required to provide an absent teacher coverage on a rotating basis. Teachers may refuse absent teacher coverage once per year. Elementary teachers who volunteer, or are required to take five (5) students, when a substitute is not available, will receive $10.00 per hour for covering said students.
Substitute Teacher Coverage. In an attempt to provide a backup plan for the coverage of classes because of the extreme shortage of substitute teachers, the following is an agreement between the School District and the Association: • The first and most desirable solution is to utilize certified teachers from a substitute list. The School District agrees to continue to advertise in order to rebuild a list adequate in number for a district our size. • The School district will continue to employ certified teachers as floaters to be assigned as appropriate by the building principals. • On the days when there are not sufficient substitutes the Association and the School District will utilize a variety of methods in an attempt to provide class coverage.
