Policy GCEA
The Superintendent of Schools is authorized to employ substitute teachers. A list of prospective substitutes will be compiled annually under the direction of the Assistant Superintendent and with approval of the Superintendent.
Substitute services in the event of illness, professional or personal days, shall be requested as follows:
In case of illness or an unanticipated absence, teachers shall enter their absence into the district’s absence management system as soon as possible to allow for a substitute to be assigned.
When a teacher has had a professional or personal day approved by the Superintendent, a substitute shall be requested in advance using the district’s absence management system.
Special teachers and/or itinerant teachers shall record their absence in the district’s absence management system, based on the building in which they are working on the day of the absence. Substitutes will be hired for non-classroom specialists (speech/language therapists, social workers, etc.) when the absence is expected to be long term.
Other professional staff members such as principals, shall notify the Superintendent’s office.
