Summary:
Due to a low substitute teacher pool, many substitute jobs go unfilled during peak times. In March 2015, staff surveyed the substitute teacher daily rates of surrounding districts. We discovered that Mt. Diablo's daily rate was significantly below that of the major districts in the area. Based on this information, we are requesting to simplify the compensation and increase the substitute teacher daily rate as follows:

Daily Rate: $120.00
Special Circumstances Rate: $145.00
Certificated Retirees: $145.00
 
Funding:
Certificated Substitutes - 5053  
Fiscal Impact:
Increase in expenses of up to $300,000.  
Recommendation
Approve the increase in Substitute Teacher daily rates.
