HUMBOLDT — Substitute teachers in the Humboldt school district can expect to earn a little extra pay in the next school year.
USD 258 Board of Education members approved a $10 per day pay increase for substitutes, raising the pay from $80 per day to $90. Half-day substitutes earn half that amount. The change will take effect for the 2018-19 school year.
The pay increase is needed to boost the likelihood that more people will join the district’s pool of substitutes and will be more likely to respond in times of need, Superintendent Kay Lewis told board members.
