[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS should hire subs/floating paras full-time or part-time with full benefits. [/quote]

I think that is going to have to be the path forward. There needs to be much more backup. [/quote]

It’s not the answer.  Nobody wants those jobs, even with more pay.[/quote]

Don't be ridiculous. Other professions have PRN workers. The difference is that the PRN workers often get paid *more* on a daily/hourly basis than the FTEs they're covering for. Subs are the odd one out there, getting paid peanuts compared to FT teachers.

[b]Pay subs $500 a day. You'll get applicants.[/b]

MCPS could/should simply hire a bunch of full-time floating staff members to cover the expected needs. Subs should augment floating staff.[/quote]

Yeah, and teachers who are married and can get healthcare through their spouses will quit and become subs. The much touted “teacher retirement” benefits have been steadily whittled away over the years to where they won’t compete with high $. And subs can work every day somewhere if they choose, so they’re always needed.

They tried this with nursing and facilities are now understaffed because staff nurses left to become travel nurses.[/quote]
