Board approves recommended pay-rate increases for substitutes and classified staff
Summary
The board approved recommended pay-rate changes: professional substitutes to $15.50/hour (described as a 50% increase from the prior stated rate), staff-sub pay to $30/hour, and modest starting-wage increases for paraprofessionals and custodial staff.
McCook Central School District 43-7 — The board voted to adopt a set of recommended pay-rate adjustments intended to make substitute and classified roles more competitive.
The chair reviewed recommended adjustments: raise the professional substitute rate to $15.50 per hour (described in the packet as a 50% increase from the prior stated rate), keep the long-term substitute rate unchanged, increase staff-sub pay from $25 to $30 per hour, and raise starting wages for paraprofessionals and custodial positions by roughly $0.50. The chair said these steps aim to make substitutes and paraprofessionals more comparably compensated and help recruitment.
A board member moved to approve the recommendations; the board approved the motion by voice vote. The board asked for clarification on the different substitute rates (teacher substitute, professional substitute, para-sub) so staff can implement the new pay schedule correctly.
