Starting next week, ÁùºÏ±¦µä ISD substitute teachers could make up to $225 per day.
The district is also accepting applications for individuals with fewer than 60 college credit hours who will be eligible to work in elementary or middle schools and is offering additional compensation for filling high-need roles due to COVID-19.
The district is currently accepting applications for the 2021-22 school year.
Benefits of being a substitute teacher include the flexibility to work as many days as desired, providing instruction on a variety of subjects, and working directly with students in a dynamic classroom setting.

The base rate of pay for substitute teachers will be:
- $165 a day for Permanent Teacher Substitutes at underperforming schools
- $150 a day for Certified Substitute Teachers
- $140 for Degreed Substitute Teachers
- $130 for Substitute Teachers with 60+ College Hours
- $115 for Substitute Teachers who have fewer than 60 college credit hours.
