410.1 - Substitute Teachers

The board recognizes the need for substitute teachers. Substitute teachers shall be licensed to teach in Iowa.

It shall be the responsibility of the building principal to maintain a list of substitute teachers who may be called upon to replace regular contract licensed employees. Individuals whose names do not appear on this list will not be employed as a substitute without specific approval of the superintendent. It shall be the responsibility of the building principal to fill absences with substitute teachers immediately.

Substitute teachers will be paid a per diem rate.

Substitutes employed for 10 or more consecutive days in the same position will be considered to be a long-term substitute. The designation will be in effect on the eleventh consecutive day and thereafter in the same position. “Eleven or more days” is defined as days in which school actually was in session.

Long-term substitutes (11 consecutive days in the same position) will receive the per diem salary rate equivalent to Step 1 of the BA degree lane starting with the eleventh consecutive day (not retroactive to day one).
