Teachers shall be in one of four classifications according to the terms of their employment:

1. Teacher. Teacher means any person who holds a teacher's certificate and who is employed to instruct, direct or supervise the instructional program. "Teacher" does not include persons holding letters of authorization or the superintendent but does include principals.

2. Probationary teacher. A teacher on an annual contract who has not completed three full years of continuous employment in the district and who has not been re-employed for the fourth year.

3. Substitute teacher. A teacher who normally performs services as an employee of a school district for four hours or more during each regular school day, but works on one continuous assignment for a total of less than ninety regular school days, or for less than one semester or equivalent time as determined by the annual school year calendar of the district in which the teacher is employed during an academic year. It also means an itinerant teacher, as an employee of a school district, who normally performs services on a day-to-day or similar short-term basis during an academic year as a replacement teacher for a nonprobationary teacher employed pursuant to Section 22-63-292, a probationary teacher employed pursuant to Section 22-63-203, or a part-time teacher while the nonprobationary, probationary, or part-time teacher is absent or otherwise unavailable. It does not include any nonprobationary or probationary teacher who is assigned as a permanent substitute teacher within a school district.

4. Part-time teacher. A teacher who normally works less than four hours per day.

The Board shall approve all classifications upon the recommendation of the superintendent.
