7 (b) A teacher holding a substitute teacher's certificate

11 teach in a substitute capacity. A teacher holding an early
12 childhood certificate, an elementary certificate, a high
13 school certificate, or a special certificate may also
14 substitute teach in grades K-12 but only in the place of a
15 certified teacher who is under contract with the employing
16 board. A substitute teacher may teach only for a period not
17 to exceed 90 paid school days or 450 paid school hours in any
18 one school district in any one school term. However, for the
19 2001-2002, 2002-2003, and 2003-2004 school years, a teacher
20 holding an early childhood, elementary, high school, or
21 special certificate may substitute teach for a period not to
22 exceed 120 paid school days or 600 paid school hours in any
23 one school district in any one school term. Where such
24 teaching is partly on a daily and partly on an hourly basis,
25 a school day shall be considered as 5 hours. The teaching
26 limitations imposed by this subsection upon teachers holding
27 substitute certificates shall not apply in any school
28 district operating under Article 34.
