After discussions with representatives from the College the BVCFA has come to an agreement about the use of substitute
teachers in the Centre of Excellence in Foundational Learning. We would like
to thank all the people that were involved in the discussions and helped with
coming to this understanding.
As a result of the discussions, we have agreed that the
CEFL Procedures outlined in March 25, 2015 will be followed. The main points of
1.3 Coverage by a Substitute Teacher are as follows, depending if it is:
- ·
One day or less, internal coverage or class
cancellation.
- ·
1-2 days Coordinator discretion based on
subject, delivery type etc.
- ·
2 + days, then select a substitute from the
substitute teacher list with approval from Coordinator.
- ·
Leaves, holidays, etc. would normally have
substitute teacher coverage.
The agreement also states that if a substitute is required,
they will be paid as per the Collective Agreement, Article 37.2.
And the last point made in the agreement is that if a
faculty member comes in to work from a planned vacation, they will have their
vacation bank adjusted to replace the lost day.
