Spot Substitution. An employee may be required to give up their planning time to substitute for another employee at either the elementary or secondary level. When a substitute teacher (except in the case of those in a long-term placement) is available, they shall be used before a certified employee to spot substitute. For the safety of the students, the Immediate Supervisor can expect employees to supervise classes for employees who shall be absent even when the employee is not certificated/licensed to teach the same subject as the absent employee. The employee would not be expected to teach the class if not certificated/licensed, but would as a certificated/licensed person, be expected to supervise the students while they do work assigned by the regular employee, or study. Employees with the same certification/licensure as the absent employee shall be assigned when possible. No elementary art, elementary physical education, or elementary music employee shall be removed from his/her regular teaching assignment to substitute for another employee. The administration shall do all in its power to obtain substitutes who can competently take over special subjects (art, music, etc.) in the elementary schools. As all elementary employees are certificated/licensed to teach these subjects, the regular employee shall be assigned to teach classes when substitutes are not available.
