[CASL-L] Subbing due to lack of coverage

[Kenneth Dunaj]

Hi Casey,

We are typically managing our HS LLC space during the day with digital
literacy classes and students who are unassigned (11th and 12th graders).
When there are no teachers or substitutes available, many of our teaching
brethren direct their students to work in the LLC if there are no
substitutes.  It is obvious when several teachers are out and there are no
substitutes.

Best,

Ken
