Updated November 10, 2021

Beginning November 16, 2021, substitute educators will be eligible to receive a bonus if they work a given number of days in a pay period. The stipend will be equivalent to:

One day -  if worked the minimum days for eligibility (see chart below)

 And

Three days - if a substitute works all available days in a pay period

Bonus stipend days will count towards health insurance eligibility for the 2022-2023 school year.

There will be 2 types of stipends available: 

1. Minimum Work Day (see chart below)
2. All Available Days Worked

For both options, if the required days are at Incentive Schools, the monthly stipend will be slightly increased.   Additionally, you will get the daily incentive pay for these schools.

Due to winter break, the 12/16 - 1/15 pay period will have a slightly reduced number of minimum days.

Monthly Stipends are per pay period, per person and will appear as a separate line item on your paycheck titled “Retention/Stipend (Bonus)”. Stipend amounts will be as follows:

Regular School Stipend:

1 Additional Day = $225.00

All Available Days Worked = $700.00

Incentive School Stipend:

1 Additional Day = $240.00

All Available Days Worked = $750.00

*The daily incentive pay for working a half day or full day at one of the incentive schools still applies and is separate from this retention bonus.

*To qualify for the incentive school bonuses, ALL days must be at an incentive school (i.e. 10 days at an incentive school for the 11/16-12/15 pay period to qualify for the $240 stipend).

We are excited to offer this to our substitutes and are grateful for all that you do for our students! Please reach out to us if you have any questions.
