Please check back in January 2009 for the revised application process.
Pay Rate
The current rate of pay for a substitute teacher is $154.97 per day.
Paycheck Distribution
Substitute teachers are paid semi-monthly. Paychecks are sent the employee’s home address. If you have any questions, ask a payroll secretary to check the payroll system to see where your check has been directed. You may also apply for direct deposit.
