Summary: In order to continue to respond to the current substitute staffing shortage experienced by all districts, and to ensure we are fully prepared for students each day and are also competitive in compensation as compared to surrounding districts, the staff is recommending that we slightly increase the substitute teacher daily rate to $250, and the current retiree and special circumstances daily rate (and now also for special education classroom assignments) to $280 (where these rates are in effect until June 30, 2023 pending future board consideration).

This will not currently change the current differential pay rate used when MDEA members have exhausted all accrued sick leave time, and will require MDUSD and MDEA bargaining if later changed.
Funding: AB86, ESSER II, ESSER III
Fiscal Impact Approximately $1,300,000
Recommendation: Move to approve the increase of substitute teacher daily rate of pay until June 30, 2023.
