7. SUBSTITUTE SALARY ADJUSTMENT
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Description:
The superintendent recommends the school board approve a daily rate increase from $160 to $190. Last increase was met in October 2022. Rates went from $120 to $160. We are unable to build a list of eligible substitutes at our current rate. 15 days of the past school year required "filling in" from current staff due to limited substitute availability. We are very grateful for our three in-house substitutes. However, when we use in house subs we are limiting services to our students who require academic assistance. This increase will allow us to become competitive with area schools and build a data base of substitutes we can call upon. |
