<br />consent shall be considered null and void. Provider must personally teach at least seventy-five
<br />percent (75%) of its offered classes.

<br />qualified substitute instructor to teach the class at its regular time and place. Provider shall
<br />ensure that substitute instructors comply with the City's insurance and live scan requirements
<br />contained herein. Provider must immediately notify the City of the substitute instructor's name,
