[CASL-L] Subbing due to lack of coverage

[Emily]

At the elementary level, related arts teachers in my building are regularly assigned extra coverages in addition to teaching our own class schedules to cover for substitute shortage on any given day. Between last year and this one, I have worn many hats in addition to my own role having covered lunches, recesses, Spanish, PE, art, music, grade level classrooms, etc. It has been challenging to say the least.

It’s worse than ever this year, and not only when media specialists are covering classes, but also when one substitute covers multiple classes without coverage in the Media Center. Today we had one substitute covering six teachers’ classes in the MC, closed to all other students. It’s unfair to students, teachers, and substitutes, and I’m wondering how much worse it is in other districts.
