A substitute teacher who has been employed for at least twenty (20) days of extended substitute teaching shall, on the twenty-first (21st) day, be signed to a Limited Term Teacher contract, unless the return of the regular teacher or the conclusion of the substitute assignment will occur within five (5) working days.
A substitute teacher who is called to work and reports for the assignment finding that his or her services are not required shall be offered an alternative assignment of not less than one-half (1/2) day.
Unless otherwise determined at the time of the assignment, or except in unforeseen circumstances, the timetable for a substitute teacher in any extended assignment shall normally be the same as the timetable of the teacher who is being replaced.
A substitute teacher filling a position for the same teacher for a period of at least five (5) consecutive scheduled working days shall be termed extended substitute teaching.

This rate of pay shall be retroactive to the first day of the extended teaching assignment and shall continue in effect until the end of that instance of extended teaching assignment. Such period shall not be interrupted because of in-service or administration days on which a school is declared closed by the Division or on which a substitute is not required to teach because of a school or division activity and such days shall not constitute a break in consecutive days.
