Board approves higher substitute pay for school nurses to expand pool
Summary
The board approved raising RN substitute pay from $25 to $35 per day and LPN pay from $21 to $26 to expand the substitute pool, citing increased extended‑hour nursing coverage and more medically fragile students on field trips.
Superintendent Doctor Cameron asked the board to approve a change to the 2025–26 salary schedule to raise daily substitute pay for registered nurses from $25 to $35 and for licensed practical nurses from $21 to $26.
Cameron said extended‑hours nursing coverage has increased, noting specific increases in hours requiring coverage, and that more field trips and medically fragile students have driven demand. He said the district currently has a small substitute pool and expects the pay increase to help recruit more nurses.
Board members asked how the district would recruit additional substitutes. Cameron said openings will be posted on the district website, shared with local health providers and promoted through social media and public‑relations channels.
After discussion the board voted by voice to approve the pay adjustments.
