SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS AND
CONTINUING CONTRACTS

Substitute teachers are entitled TO
continuing" or permanent con-
tracts the same as regular teachers'
Attorney General Thomas j. Her
bert said this week in an opinion
to Kenneth C. Ray, state director OF
education. County superlntenoents
are entitled to continuing contracts
on the same basis as other teachers.
Mr.. Herbert said the term teach
err in the new teachers tenure la"
includes substitute as we'll as regu-
lar instructors. Substitute teachers
may be hired by the year, their pay
to be determined by the number OF
days they work.
The yardstick for determining
whether a school district has more
or less than 500 pupils is the enroll
ment in the year in which the teach
ers contract is signed rather than
the school year for which the con-
tract is drawn. School boards IN
districts Of less than 500 pupils
NAV adopt standards of educational
qualifications for teachers higher
than the minimums provided by the
state certificate statutes, Mr.. Her
bert said.
