C. Except where there is a budget control freeze or where funds are not available for permanent filling of a position, a long-term substitute position shall not be used as a replacement for any recall procedure.
D. Provided funds are available, substitutes shall be provided for resource teachers in the event of illness for a full school day.
Substitutes. Employment of substitutes is an administrative responsibility. The rate of pay for substitutes who work less than five (5) days is $39.00 per hour. The rate of pay for substitutes who work five (5) days or more in the same assignment shall be the appropriate associate faculty rate of pay.

B. At all worksites, if a clerical ESP is out for an extended absence, a reasonable effort will be made to provide a substitute clerk, subject to District needs and the availability of funds.

Substitutes. 1. A teacher shall not be required to find a substitute for himself.
2. No regularly assigned teacher shall be required to serve as an involuntary substitute except in case of emergency.
3. In the event of an emergency or when a substitute has been requested, but there is still an insufficient number of substitutes available at the school, the following procedure shall be available to the building principal:
a. At the beginning of each school year, the principal at the middle and high school level shall ask for volunteers who would be willing to give up their planning period to cover for a teacher who is absent. At the elementary level, the principal shall seek volunteers who would be willing to take on additional students when a teacher is absent.
b. The principal shall endeavor to rotate such assignments among those teachers who have volunteered. However, if no volunteers are available, the principal shall have the right to assign teachers, on a rotating basis whenever possible, to substitute during their planning period at the middle and high school, or to take on additional students at the elementary school.
c. Teachers who give up their planning period in order to cover for a teacher who is absent shall be paid at a rate of one-sixth (1/6) of the daily substitute rate of pay for a certified teacher per period for a seven period day, and one-third (1/3) the daily substitute rate of pay for a certified teacher per period for a four period block. Elementary teachers who take on additional students when a teacher is absent shall be paid an amount equal to the daily substitute rate for a certified teacher divided between the number of teachers taking additional students due to the teacher’s absence.
Substitutes. The SPS shall provide every substitute hired into the SPS at the beginning of the school year or thereafter a standard District Orientation Packet which will include a copy of the Agreement, Substitute Handbook, SPS Rules and Regulations Affecting Substitute Certificated employees, a map showing school locations, a list of all school buildings (including addresses and phone numbers) and the phone number of Human Resources. SPS will share with SEA all materials to be included in the packet prior to inclusion. SEA will have the opportunity to respond to the documents and will also be able to suggest documents for inclusion. As a reference for all SPS personnel, “Best Practices for Substitute Teachers” is found in Appendix Q.
1. Types of Substitutes:
Substitutes. Substitute employees shall be employed for all absent employees, except studio teachers, school counselors, psychometrists, guidance directors, psychologists, school social workers, speech language pathologists, ESE specialists, media specialists, and when the employee and principal agree that employment of a substitute would be inappropriate for certain exceptional children. When it is known that an employee in one (1) of the exceptions listed above will be absent for an extended period of at least twenty (20) consecutive work days, a substitute shall be employed for such absent employee provided that a properly certified/licensed substitute is available. Substitutes may be employed during pre-school or post-school conference periods or on teacher workdays when students are not in session when the principal determines that the situation warrants it. Substitute teachers shall be expected to perform all duties normally performed by the regular employees.
