Substitute Teachers?

In my district in RI, our subs must have a 4 year degree in something. They only get paid 85 a day -- long term subs also only get that $85 a day. There's no limit to how many days someone can sub --- we have an online system where we (teachers) "call out" and subs pick the positions they want to fill.

I think my district pays aout $100/day and you need a bachelors. 

I can't imagine it even being worth driving to the sub job for $65/day.   I've been fortunate and have never needed to sub due to my certification areas.

Our district pays $60/day for whether you are certified or not! Only if you sub for a certain number of consecutive days will they have to retro-pay a certified person for certified sub pay.

So, in Arkansas, if a teacher is going to be out for 30 consecutive school days, then they have to get a certified sub. When I was out for maternity earlier this school year, they weren't counting inservice days and labor days, just so they could keep from having to hire a certified person.

That's been my experience, that in lower income states (like Arkansas) that certified people had better have an actual job, because they are not going to get called to sub. Our district will always call a non-certified person first in order to save money!!

What's on your mind?
