Iowa Admin. Code r. 282-13.16 - [Effective until 2/26/2025] Specific requirements for a substitute teacher's license
(1)
Substitute teacher requirements. A substitute teacher's
license may be issued to an individual who has completed a teacher preparation
program and been the holder of, or presently holds, or is eligible to hold, a
license in Iowa.
(2)
Validity. A substitute license is valid for five years and for
not more than 90 days of teaching in one assignment during any one school year.
A school district administrator may file a written request with the board for
an extension of the 90-day limit in one assignment on the basis of documented
need and benefit to the instructional program. The board will review the
request and provide a written decision either approving or denying the
request.
(3)
Authorization. The holder of a substitute license is
authorized to substitute teach in any school system in any position in which a
regularly licensed teacher is employed except in the driver's education
classroom. In addition to the authority inherent in the initial, standard,
master educator, professional administrator, regional exchange, full career and
technical education authorization, full native language teaching authorization,
professional service license, and permanent professional licenses and the
endorsement(s) held, the holder of one of these regular licenses may substitute
on the same basis as the holder of a substitute license while the regular
license is in effect. The executive director may grant permission for a
substitute to serve outside of a substitute's regular authority under unique
circumstances.
