Increase in Substitute Teacher Pay
We are currently in a very competitive market for substitute teachers and classified employees. Many people who substitute in our schools come from the greater Vancouver area. A significant factor for them is the rate of pay offered for substituting.
This is a current comparison of rates paid by districts from Kalama south:
Full Day | Half-day | "Enhanced" Full-Day | "Enhanced" Half-day | |
Battle Ground | $144.27 | $90.17 | $ 151.86 (For Amboy & Yacolt) | $ 94.91(For Amboy & Yacolt) |
Camas | $155 | $85 | ||
Evergreen | $173.81 | 114.76 | $192.01 (After 210 hours) | $ 126.60 (After 210 hours) |
Kalama | $225.00 | $250.00 | ||
LaCenter | $150 | $90 | ||
Ridgefield | $167.50 | $101.50 | $ 192.01 (After 25 days) | $ 126.60 (After 25 days) |
Vancouver | $171.00 | $102.61 | $ 182.36 (If worked 25 days in the previous semester) | $ 109.43 (If worked 25 days in the previous semester) |
Woodland | $165.00 | $96 | $ 180.00 (If worked 25 days in the previous semester) | $ 104.00 (If worked 25 days in the previous semester) |
In consideration of the above data, and the need to draw teachers who otherwise may not be willing to come to Woodland, I am recommending that the board consider increasing the rates at which we pay substitute teachers.
- Recommended full-day rate: $200
- Recommended half-day rate: $120
- Recommended full-day enhanced rate: $220
- Recommended half-day enhanced rate: $130
- Recommended bonus for travel to Yale School: $20
Upon approval, these rates will be implemented retroactively to May 11, 2022
