Yes, based on the calculation procedure. The teacher must call in the absence to the SEMS system prior to distributing the students to another classroom or asking teachers to substitute during their planning period. It must be verifiable by Personnel Services that no substitute teacher was available for the assignment before teachers will be compensated. An attendance printout will be accepted by Personnel Services in place of the teacher writing out all the student's names on the compensation form. However, these lists must be the daily attendance records, not a printout of every student assigned to that classroom.
Compensation is based on the number of students accepted by the teacher.
Personnel Services must have true and accurate records to formulate this calculation. If, in the future, it is verified that inaccurate records are being submitted, this procedure will be changed back to the actual listing of the student names. PE classrooms where students are divided into other classrooms when no substitute is available, in order to reduce the burden this new procedure has placed on school secretaries, it was determined that Personnel Services would be responsible for posting the compensation calculation to the extra-time authorization. However, school secretaries are the only ones able to post the timesheet, so it was determined that it would be easiest if there was no calculation necessary by the school secretary. By having to only post 1 hour, school secretaries do not have to worry about any of the calculation information.
