The superintendent authorizes the employment of certificated substitutes as deemed necessary by his/her designees.
If the superintendent reasonably anticipates that the list of qualified, willing substitutes will be exhausted, emergency substitute certification may be sought from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for persons not fully qualified for a teaching or substitute certificate.
The superintendent authorizes the employment of a classified substitute in the absence of a classified staff member when a program will be adversely affected by the regular staff member’s absence and when a substitute can perform the duties in a reasonable manner. A classified substitute employee’s eligibility to purchase retirement service credit will be determined according to Chapter 41.35 RCW and retirement system rules. Substitute classified employee means a classified employee who is employed by the district exclusively as a substitute for an absent employee.
