Substitute Service. The Board shall maintain an active list of substitute teachers to replace absentees. Teachers shall be informed of a telephone number they should call to report unavailability for work. Such calls should be made by elementary teachers at least two (2) hours prior to the teacher’s time to report for duty and one and one-half (1-1/2) hours by secondary teachers. The Board shall maintain at least one (1) telephone line, exclusively for such reporting. Once a teacher has reported unavailability, it shall be the responsibility of the administration to arrange for a substitute teacher. To report availability for work after absence, the teacher shall call said telephone number at least one (1) hour before his/her reporting time. A teacher may, however, indicate at the time of his/her original call the length of unavailability, thus negating the necessity for a second call. Other members of the immediate family may make the call into the substitute service in emergency situations. The first failure by the teacher to conform to the above provisions will result in a written warning. Additional offenses will result in the reimbursement to the Board of payment of the substitute salary by the offending teacher.
