As a <br /> minimum standard, this requires that all long-terin substitute teachers (defined as <br /> position assignment expected to last longer than two consecutive creeks) working in the <br /> district possess an undergraduate degree from an accredited degree-granting institution. <br /> While it is not a requirement, it is preferred that the degree earned relates specifically to <br /> the subject matter being taught. It is also desirable, though not required, that the degree <br /> be from a school of education and/or that the candidate has received instruction in, or has <br /> prior experience in, an educational setting. Candidates for long-terra and substitute <br /> teaching positions must provide a transcript showing course work completed, grades <br /> received, and degree s attained, as well as be able to pass appropriate background and <br /> health examinations, prior to being employed by the district. <br /> The Superintendent of Schools has the authority to amend these rules for specific <br /> situations, following consultation and concurrence by the School Committee. <br /> i <br /> This was the first read; a vote will be taken at the next meeting. <br /> There was also discussion of high horrors, and the requirement for arid-terra grades to be <br /> included.
