Section 49.153. Vocational Day-to-Day Substitute Permit

(a) The chief school administrator or vocational school administrative director having jurisdiction over any approved Vocational Education program is authorized to issue a special Day-to-Day Substitute Permit to an occupational practitioner when no properly certified teachers are available. The teacher shall function under the supervision of a properly certified supervisor or administrator. Assignments as described in this section shall be made only in case of an emergency and may not exceed 20-consecutive school days. This permit will be valid for 20 days of substitute service and may be renewed for an additional 20 school days upon the approval of the Secretary.

(b) This permit does not qualify the holder to serve as a regularly employed teacher to fill a vacant position or as a long-term substitute. These positions shall be filled by a person holding a valid Vocational Instructional or a State issued Long-term or Day-to-Day Substitute Permit. Reference should be made to § 49.32 (relating to Exceptional Case Permits).
