Board amends 2025–26 calendar for staff development and raises nurse substitute pay
Summary
Waterloo Local added a staff professional development date (March 27, 2026) and approved an amendment raising nursing substitute pay to $25/hour (up to 7 hours/day). The calendar change resolves a grievance and was described as a 0.5 day PD / 0.5 day work day.
The board voted to amend the 2025–26 calendar to add a staff professional development date on March 27, 2026; students will not report that day. The superintendent said the date was selected in part to resolve a grievance and will be structured as a half‑day professional development and a half‑day work period for teachers.
The board also approved changing nursing substitute pay: licensed practical nurses and registered nurses will be compensated $25 per hour, not to exceed seven hours per day, a move the superintendent described as intended to make the district more competitive in recruiting nursing substitutes. "If you're looking to have a registered nurse right now again in that role, we try to be a little more competitive than ever," Superintendent said.
Both items passed following motions and roll calls; the superintendent and principals will coordinate schedules and payroll follow‑up.
