**New substitute teacher and paraprofessional pay rates!**
Last night at our regularly scheduled BoE meeting, there were two agenda items approved that we’d like to bring to your attention. The changes below are not effective until Monday, Nov. 4, 2024.
1). We increased our substitute teacher rate of pay from $115 per day to $135 per day. Retired teachers (from any district) who substitute teach will be paid $150 per day up from $135 per day.
