It's kinda sad when the BOE announces that it will cut substitute teachers' pay by 7%. According to the story below, approximately 1/4 of all regular teachers in the State system can be out on any given day, and about 1,000 of 3,000 available substitute teachers are called on to teach.
The article further states that the pay for a substitute teacher should be the same as an entry-level full time teacher with a 4 year degree, but here's the clincher: Just as the BOE announces the 7% pay cut for the substitutes, it makes no mention of a similar cut to the entry level full time teacher pay, nor did it provide any reason why the pay cut was ordered.
Could it also be a slap at the substitute teachers by the HSTA, since the substitute teachers are not part of that union? Just really curious it should happen now and be effective on Nov. 1.
