ORR Joint School Committee lets increased substitute pay expire

Jul 6, 2021

The ORR District Joint School Committee briefly discussed the expiration of a motion made last year that increased pay to substitute teachers and staff in order to attract qualified candidates during the pandemic.

District Superintendent Michael Nelson said that the motion expired automatically at the end of the school year and there are currently no plans to raise substitute wages again.

“We will monitor the situation and discuss it if we find we’re having a hard time attracting a pool of substitutes,” he said.
