Mansfield ISD - Mansfield Independent School District

Key Exchange Policy
To provide another level of security and to ensure that all staff are able to secure their door in
case of an emergency, substitutes are given a key to the classroom door(s) of their assignment
for the day in exchange for their car keys. All keys are stored in a portable, secured, lock-box
and redistributed to the substitute at the end of the day.
Substitutes who fail to return the campus room key at the end of the day will be
deactivated until the key has been returned. It is possible that a fine for a replacement
room key may also be assessed.
Parking on Campus
Substitutes at the high school level (which includes the Ben Barber Career Tech Academy and
AEC/BIC) are required to have a parking permit for their vehicle prior to reporting to a job. There
is no fee for a staff permit.
Clearance forms for obtaining the permit will be given to substitutes when they bring their new
hire forms to HR for processing. The MISD Parking Rules and Guidelines will be discussed
during the substitute orientation and substitutes will be given a hard copy of the district
guidelines. Questions regarding parking on campus may be addressed to the MISD Police
Department at 817-299-6000.
Payroll
In order to ensure the accurate reporting of days worked, substitutes must sign in and out on the
campus sign-in sheet with their name and employee number (which in most cases is their Aesop
pin number as assigned by HR). Failing to do so could result in a substitute not being paid for
that day. All signatures must be legible.
In order to be paid at the correct pay scale you must have valid documentation on file. If you are
a certified teacher your certificate must be valid. Expired or invalid teaching certificates will result
in being placed on the degreed pay scale.
Payday is the 20 th of each month. When the 20 th falls on a weekend or a holiday, substitutes will
be paid on the work day preceding the weekend or holiday.
The pay cycle is from the 21 st of one month to the 20 th of the next month.
Security
Principals are responsible for the security on their campus and are required to contact proper
authorities should any problems arise on a school campus. Criminal history investigations are
made on all employees and picture identification badges are supplied for substitutes when they
are processed into the district.
Sexual Harassment
It is the official policy of this school district that students and employees should be treated
honorably and with respect at all times. Students and employees should conduct themselves in
a manner that encourages and promotes positive, wholesome relationships with others. The
Board of Trustees recognizes that all persons should be free from unwelcome, offensive or
otherwise inappropriate sexual advances, or activity. Such conduct is not appropriate in an
educational environment, and the Board of Trustees will not tolerate sexual harassment or
sexual abuse (verbal, non-verbal or physical) of students or employees.
