Description:  Estimated Time to Present: 10 minutes

Administration is requesting to approve increases to our substitute pay rates for the 2022-23 school year. The following increases and rationales are offered for your consideration. 

All support staff sub positions -- $0.95 per hour increase ($1.06 per hour increase for non-special education paras)
Rationale -- We continue to struggle to fill these positions and the rates are very low in many of the areas. These increases will bring us to an above average rate for each of the employee groups based on the latest comps that we have available to us for sub rates. The $1.06 increase for non-special education paras will bring that rate to the average of the current comps that we have. 

Regular Daily Sub Teacher Rate -- $130/day ($16.25 per hour equivalent)
Rationale -- This small adjustment represents a 1.5% increase. It also moves us up in the comps for our region to be the same as 3 area districts who currently pay that amount. We would also be $2 & $5 more per day than 3 other area districts.

Long Term Sub Teacher Rate -- $222.90 (27.86 per hour equivalent) 
Rationale -- This increase ($5.46/day) represents a 2.51% similar to what we put on the base salary for teachers. It also moves us into the #2 position for LT sub pay in the region only behind Marshfield who is currently paying $229/day. Historically, this rate was tied to our base salary amount on the teacher schedule, however, we have not done this the past few years and the comps do not necessarily call for that level of adjustment to remain competitive in our region.
