Board hires Lindsay Tate as long-term substitute, approves $20/hour rate
Summary
The board approved hiring Lindsay Tate as a long-term substitute for 2025–26 and, after discussion and an amendment, set the hourly rate at $20; the amended motion passed with one vote opposed.
The board moved to hire Lindsay Tate as a long-term substitute for the 2025–26 school year. The initial motion specified a rate of $16.03 per hour but members discussed parity with veteran teachers and the workload expected of a long-term substitute.
A board member proposed amending the motion to set the rate at $20 per hour, saying the middle rate better reflected the responsibilities and any applicable education credit. The amendment was seconded and the board voted on the amended main motion; the amendment and final motion carried. One board member recorded an opposed vote during the final tally.
Administrators noted that some long-term substitutes are certified veteran teachers who receive higher pay, while others are noncertified and typically paid less; the board settled on $20 per hour for Ms. Tate given her responsibilities and the packets and lesson plans she will use.
