SUBSTITUTE TEACHER EXCLUSION PROCESS

The following process must be followed in order to exclude a substitute from your school - SASIE Article 2.90: Substitute teachers, who will be removed from the list of available substitute in a particular school, will be provided with some direct communication from the District, either in the form of a letter, phone call, or an opportunity to meet with the principal of the building.  The choice of mode of communication shall be at the discretion of the District. Substitutes will be afforded this communication prior to the BOCES call system letter which is sent to the substitute’s home.

School Administrator Responsibilities

• Any instances/concerns relating to attendance, performance and behavior of a substitute teacher shall result in

the Principal speaking with the substitute teacher and her union delegate and determining whether or not a counseling memo is appropriate.

• It is important to document the incident or concern in writing.

o NOTE: If the incident or concern is egregious in nature (i.e., use physical force with a child, threatens the welfare of a child, etc.) complete the Child Abuse in an Educational Setting form and fax it immediately to the Office of School Leadership.

If a school administrator requests that a substitute teacher be excluded from their school, they should complete a Do Not Use Form and submit it to the Office of Human Resources and the Capital Region BOCES sub service will exclude the substitute teacher.  .
