Board sets licensed substitute pay to state minimum; clarifies long‑term sub rate
Summary
Board approved setting 2025–26 licensed substitute teacher pay to the new state minimum (daily rate cited in meeting) and noted ORS guidance on long‑term substitute definitions and rate calculations.
The board approved a motion to set the licensed substitute teacher daily pay for 2025–26 at the state-minimum rate that district staff had calculated for long-term substitutes. Administration explained statutory guidance that long-term substitute status hinges on consecutive days worked (10 consecutive days) and that district pay for a long-term sub is tied to a proportion of the beginning teacher salary scale.
During the discussion administrators cited ORS guidance and explained that the long-term substitute daily rate would be approximately the district figure derived from the beginning teacher scale. "There's a little bit of a caveat here," the superintendent said, referencing ORS language about 10 consecutive days to qualify as a long-term substitute; the board voted and the motion carried by voice vote to adopt the proposed pay schedule.
