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 Administrative Recommendation /MOTION/. "I move we approve the substitute rates as presented"
