Policy: GBAF
Substitute Teachers
The Lyme School Board will establish the daily rate of pay
for substitute teachers during the budget process. A substitute
will be paid at the substitute rate of pay through the 15th
consecutive day of employment as a substitute in the same
position. From the 16th day through the 45th day of employment
in the same position, substitutes who are certified for the
position will be paid at the rate of 185th of annual salary
of Track 1, Step 1 of the teachers’ salary schedule.
After the 45th consecutive school day in the same position,
the substitute will be eligible for placement on the salary
schedule which reflects his or her actual experience and education.
At that point pro-rated leave benefits will apply. If it is
determined in advance that a substitute teaching assignment
will extend more than six months, the Superintendent of Schools
may authorize the higher daily rate of pay prior to the fifteenth
day of service.
Teachers who are not certified for the position may not teach
more than 30 consecutive days in the same position.
The substitute teacher's assignment terminates at the close
of the school year. Substitute teachers do not qualify for
fringe benefits accorded under the contract between board
and teachers until the election by the school board as a substitute
teacher on a long-term basis.
The District will reimburse substitute teachers for the cost
of a criminal record check after they have substituted in
the District five times.
