The Benicia Unified School District (BUSD) recognize that the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult to recruit and hire certificated substitute teachers to cover classes during a teacher’s absence. Substitute pay was increased in September 2021; however, to stay competitive with our neighboring school districts, staff is requesting for the certificated substitute teachers’ pay to be increased again as an incentive to recruit and hire additional employees as explained in the attached document. The Daily and Hourly Rate increase is non-precedent setting on a one-time basis only for the 2021-2022 school year, effective from October 25, 2021-June 30, 2022, due to impacts from COVID-19. On July 1, 2022, the Daily and Hourly Rates will revert back to the previous pay rates from the 2020-21 school year pay rate.
Staff recommends that the Governing Board approve the ‘Certificated Substitute Teachers’ pay increase for the 2021-22 school only. |
