Board raises substitute pay to attract staff
Summary
The board approved increases to several district substitute rates — bus driver $17.27/hr; van driver $14.88/hr; aide/cafeteria/secretary $13.34/hr; custodian $14.34/hr — aiming to improve competitiveness with neighboring districts.
The Waterloo Board of Education approved recommended increases to substitute pay rates during superintendent business on Feb. 12. Superintendent Gantt told the board the adjustments were intended to make the district more competitive for substitutes and to align aide/cafeteria/secretary pay with substitute teacher rates so staff are not penalized for taking certain substitute roles. Approved rates include bus driver substitute at $17.27 per hour and van driver (non‑CDL) at $14.88 per hour.
Gantt explained that aligning the aide/cafeteria/secretary substitute rate from $11 to $13.34 per hour removes a disincentive for staff to serve in those positions instead of substitute teaching. The custodian/utility substitute rate was increased to $14.34 per hour. The board moved, seconded and adopted the recommendations on voice/roll-call votes.
