D303 Considers Substitute Pay Increase

ST. CHARLES, IL — The St. Charles District 303 school board will vote Tuesday on whether to increase its pay for substitute teachers.

The move, school officials say, is to keep District 303's rates competitive with other school districts in Kane County. If approved, the school district will increase it's full day rate for substitute teachers from $140 to $160 for those who've been with D303 for more than 31 days. The half-day rate will increase from $60 to $72.50.

The retired substitute rates could see a steeper hike, jumping from $140 to $200 for full day rate and from $60 to $100 for half-day rates. Full day support staff rates will increase from $100.40 to $120.

The District 303 school board will meet starting at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Haines Center, 305 S. 9th Street, St. Charles.
