Represented Substitute shall hereinafter refer to any certificated substitute who is hired in the same position for twenty (20) consecutive days or thirty (30) days in the district; inclusive of consecutive and nonconsecutive days, during any twelve-month period beginning or ending during the current or immediately preceding school year. Unless the context in which they are used clearly requires otherwise, words used in this agreement denoting number shall include both singular and plural.
Represented Substitute means an OSPI certified person who is temporarily employed by the District for a period in excess of twenty (20) consecutive work days or for more than thirty (30) non-consecutive days of work within the current school year to substitute for an employee when that person is absent from his/her regular assignment. The District recognizes the Association as the exclusive bargaining representative for all represented substitutes. The only provisions of this agreement applicable to represented substitutes are: Article I, Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5; Article III, Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5; Article IV, Sections 1 and 2; Article V, Sections 1, 2, and 3; Article VII, Sections 3 and 4; and Article XII. In addition, whenever an absent employee ceases to be covered by District paid health insurance, the represented substitute working in the absent employee's position for more than 20 consecutive work days shall receive an insurance allocation under Article XIII, Section 2, equal to the monthly amount that the absent employee was using from the insurance pool. Also in addition, the Association may grieve any District action believed to violate a specific term of this agreement as the District applied it to a represented substitute.
