How much is your school district paying substitute teachers and why isn't it enough to fill the vacancies?
Even before the first semester was up, the Round Lake Area Unit District 116 school board was on its way to increasing the base pay for substitute teachers for the second time in less than a year.
Among 100 suburban school districts, the average daily rate for a substitute teacher is $131.76, according to a Daily Herald analysis of district records. The daily sub rates are as low as $95 in Queen Bee Elementary District 16 and as high as $217.50 in Bloomingdale Elementary District 13. Bartelt said these permanent subs report to work daily and are assigned myriad other duties if they are not needed to cover a classroom.
Then there's the law of unintended consequences. New teachers in Illinois can't bank sick days like their more experienced colleagues and use them to boost their retirement payout. Now these younger teachers are more apt to burn through all their sick days each year, requiring more substitutes than ever before.
"We added that incentive for our retirees to pay $175 a day," Benes said."Now, most of our subs are retired teachers."
