Substitute Teachers
• Each district should have guidelines on access
to BCeSIS for substitute teachers
• Rule of thumb – if substitute is replacing
teacher:
– for a week or longer, they should have access to the
same information as teacher
– for less than a week, school districts may have to
resort to manual entering or printing out the class
lists
• The substitute can reasonably have access
to anything that they need to do the job
