Limitations for Substitute Teachers
Substitute teachers have limitations regarding how long they are able to serve in a substitute capacity in a school year for any one teacher of record:
No more than 30 cumulative days in any one general education classroom; and
No more than 20 cumulative days in any one special education classroom.
This rule includes fully credentialed teachers serving as substitutes, unless that teacher is serving as a substitute in the subject or disability area(s) authorized by their credential; such fully credentialed teachers can serve as substitutes in classes that match their area of certification indefinitely.
