What is a Long-Term Substitute:

 A substitute teacher is considered a long-term substitute after working 10 consecutive days for the same assignment. Starting with the eleventh (11) day, substitute pay is retroactive to the first day at the long-term sub rate. (NOTE: Classified substitutes do not receive a long-term rate of pay. They are paid based on step one of the current position in the current salary schedule).
