Board approves substitute pay flexibility for Lakeland School staff
Summary
Members approved an amendment to Section 15-359 to clarify substitute pay: full-day substitutes remain $150 per day and staff can be hired for partial days at a half‑day rate to increase scheduling flexibility.
The Walworth County Children with Disabilities Education Board on Oct. 16 approved an amendment to Section 15‑359 of the county code to formalize substitute pay and permit partial‑day hires at a half‑day rate.
Matt reported the item had been reviewed by the Human Resources Committee and that full‑day substitutes are paid $150 per day. Board members discussed interest from substitutes willing to work partial days; the proposed change allows the county (for Lakeland School) to hire substitutes and pay a half‑day rate when appropriate, improving staffing flexibility.
The board approved the ordinance amendment by voice vote. No roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript. The change is intended to expand options for managing staffing and to avoid paying a full‑day wage when only partial coverage is needed.
The transcript references Section 15‑359 in the County Code; the packet pages were noted as 7–9. Human Resources had previously considered the amendment, and staff indicated the change is procedural and aimed at operational flexibility rather than altering core compensation levels.
