In order to address the critical labor shortage impacting the school district and Teachers on Call, our partner in sourcing substitute teachers and paraeducators, St. Cloud Area School District is making a temporary change in substitute teacher rates for the remainder of the school year. Daily subs will now earn $160 per day, up from $140 per day, and permanent building subs or retirees will earn $200 per day, up from $150 per day. The district encourages any member of our community who would like to work as a substitute teacher or substitute paraeducator to contact Teachers on Call or go to our substitute employment page on our website for more information at www.isd742.org/Page/1060. In addition, the district is hiring in all positions. See also the employment page on the district website.
