Common use of Senior Substitute Clause in Contracts

Senior Substitute. A person eligible to substitute for the SPS, who has served four (4) or more years as a SPS substitute educator or regular employee and who is willing to accept any assignment for which they are qualified, shall be called a senior substitute and shall have first priority in assignment. First priority shall mean that any position posted more than 48 hours in advance of the job start time will be open only to senior substitutes for a period of 48 hours with the exception that positions jointly designated as hard to fill by SEA and SPS will be open to all substitutes upon posting. All jobs are open to all substitutes in the last 48 hours before a job begins. To maintain this designation a Senior Substitute must work 45 days in the prior year and accept assignments for which they are called. (Note: to be eligible to self-pay for medical insurances the senior substitute must work at least 90 days in the prior year). Teachers laid off and not re-employed by the start of the school year, upon application, will be considered a senior substitute.
