In a co-teaching situation, the co-teacher shall be the sole internal substitute teacher. B. In the event no one volunteers, the principal will assign members on planning time on a rotating basis to serve as an internal substitute. C. When events scheduled by the Board and/or administration require a teacher to be away from his/her teaching assignment, a substitute will be provided for his/her classroom/class periods. On days a member is absent due to illness or leave, every attempt will be made to find a substitute. If a substitute cannot be obtained, any member serving as an internal substitute shall be paid at the rate of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per hour. D.

The internal substitute selected by the member can only sub during his/her planning period.
