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 district office 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. Substitute licensed employees are expected to perform the same duties as the licensed employees. The school board will determine rates of pay for substitutes on an annual basis. The superintendent is responsible for making recommendations of pay to the board.
