[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mcps teacher here. There is an online sub system. You login, create an absence and hope  a sub takes the job. Other than writing sub plans, your job is done. I’ve been in the county for a long time and have never been denied leave or been harassed for not having a sub. Is this really a problem countywide?[/quote]

And many schools also have a preferred sub list. We would rather contact someone we know is good rather than leave it to chance.  If no one on our preferred sub list can do it, we post on the sub system.  If that's not picked up, our administrators and secretaries contact systemwide subs or ask people to cover in-house.

It's upsetting that they're such a sub shortage. With all the people on this forum, maybe some of you can sign up to sub![/quote]

They need to pay more than $20/hour. It’s insulting and not a living wage. It’s gross that people think this is okay. [/quote]

This. I've considered subbing. I am a good teacher and need flexible work, but I won't sub for $20 an hour. It needs to be more than that. I can get other work that is easier and just as flexible for $25 to $45 an hour. [/quote]

The sub rates are negotiated by the union. Why doesn't the union push for higher sub rates? $20 per hour is ridiculous and just means that teachers will lose planning periods to sub. [/quote]

[b]Because after all the anti-racist audits, leader in me SEL training, and electric busses, there just isn't anything left.[/b][/quote]
