I live in New Jersey and substitute in one district local to my house. A nurse in one of the schools asked me to cover her while she’s in the building but “working on a project.” I said fine, not a problem.

But personnel is now bugging me to not work in the school that day but cover on a field trip into NYC, which is about 40 minutes away without traffic. But I’m not comfortable with that since my husband will be away for work and I would like to be able to get to my kids if needed.

I’m new to subbing in this district and really do enjoy it, do I just tell them honestly I don't want to be that far from home? Or am I overthinking this?
