[quote=Anonymous]OP, are you approaching this from a PTA perspective (what can we do to help), or just as an individual parent (I want something)?  The two are different.  I don't know for sure, but I'd bet money that the parent fund rule would apply to a temp substitute.

I hope you realize that a smooth transition will involve several key elements *other than* overlap time in the classroom.  The principal will manage this and you did say that you're happy with the admin of your school.  That said, if the teacher is planning to take any time out of the classroom for Ob/Gyn visits in the month leading up to maternity leave (those visits tend to be scheduled once per week at the end of the pregnancy, right?) the obvious solution is to hire the incoming long-term sub to cover during those hours.  It's not always possible from a scheduling perspective but when it is, it's win-win.

FWIW as a former teacher, the "parent volunteer during the sub's first month" idea is the weakest in your brainstorm.  It could make the transition go worse, not better.  [/quote]
