Board approves raise to substitute pay to remain competitive
Summary
The board approved a raise in daily substitute rates (proposed increase from $160 to $170 with step-up after 15 days and higher long-term rate) to align district rates with neighboring schools and retain local substitutes.
The Sutherland Public Schools board voted to raise substitute daily pay to stay competitive with neighboring districts and to recognize long-term substitute assignments.
Superintendent Webster said the district should raise the daily rate from $160 to $170, with substitutes earning $180 after 15 days and long-term substitutes moving to $210 after extended placements. Webster said the change "keeps us right where we needed to be to stay competitive with all the other area schools." Board members noted a strong local substitute pool and supported the increase.
A motion to adopt the revised substitute pay schedule was moved and seconded; the board approved the change by roll-call vote.
