Substitute teachers ask Wiseburn board for daily pay increase
Summary
A substitute teacher urged the Board to increase daily pay for substitutes, citing rising cost of living and no pay increase in roughly four years.
During public comment, substitute teacher Dave Reisner identified himself as a substitute working in the district and asked the Board to consider a pay increase for substitute teachers. “We think it's been 4 years since our last pay increase... Cost of living has gone up, up, up,” Reisner said. “We'd like to have a pay increase to our daily rate as soon as possible.”
The Board acknowledged the public comment; under the Brown Act the Board did not respond during public comment but referenced procedures for further consideration.
Why it matters: substitute pay levels affect the district’s ability to recruit and retain available substitute teachers, which can affect day‑to‑day coverage in classrooms. Reisner asked for immediate consideration but no formal motion or action was recorded in the meeting transcript.
