USC Raises Substitute Teacher Pay to Match Regional District Rates
What happened
The United South Central School Board voted to increase the pay rate for substitute teachers to $180 for a full day and $90 for a half day. This increase was made after a review of the district's compensation compared to other regional school districts.
Why it matters
The decision reflects a localized effort to maintain competitive labor rates within the regional education sector. The new rate brings USC closer to the pay offered by other local districts, such as Fairmont, which pays $200 for a full-day substitute.
