How do I get a substitute for inquiry observations? Monthly Elementary & Secondary substitutecodes are sent to the Support Providers. If the PT is using a substitute for observation, the SP gives the code to the PT. The teacher enters their absence into SmartFind Express using this code. Choose reason for absence 300 - BTSA. Secondary teachers requesting coverage from a colleague for a single period do not call the absence into SmartFind. Instead, the colleague who covers the class fills out the Cert Prep Period payroll form and submits it to Dana Marting in BTSA (Human Resources). 21.
