The Board of Education recognizes its responsibility to procure the services of substitute support staff in order to prevent the interruption of the operation of the schools.

Substitute personnel are subject to a criminal history record check. See Policy 4121.

The names of potential substitute personnel and the positions in which they may substitute shall be maintained by the site administrator.

Relatives of Board members may be employed by the Board, provided a member of the Board does not participate in any way in the discussion or vote on the employment when conflict of interest is involved.

Relatives of staff members may be employed by the Board, provided the staff member being employed is not placed in a position in which s/he is supervised directly by the relative staff member.

The employment of substitute support staff prior to approval by the Board is authorized when their employment is required to maintain continuity of services in the District.

Retroactive employment shall be recommended to the Board at the next meeting.
