Yep. Our nanny makes $7/hour more.

Just to clarify, their current pay is ridiculous. They absolutely deserve a raise.

I do think they should increase their pay though but not the same as retired teachers that have certifications.

But the retiree pay only applies to retired DCPS teachers. Why wouldn’t a retired MoCo or VA teacher have the same qualifications? Or are there DC specifics credentials that actually matter for a substitute that might come into play?

(To PP -- I was assuming a 7h day, so about $17/hour -- but either way, it's awful.)

$120 per day to teach kids. That's just a whisker above minimum wage. Absolutely unconscionable.

WHY are we so constantly underfunding education?

The current daily rate is $15 hr, assuming an 8 hr work day--that's less than DC's minimum wage!

How about they pay full-time teachers who sign a year-long contract, no more than 10 days of in-person absence etc, $5,500+ a month and call it day?

Why pay subs (DCPS retirees) $9,000/mo? Get teachers for a year instead.

Here we go…

Wow. They want $300/day to sub. I've seen contractors in war-zones not get that rate of pay.

So about this planned action by substitutes…
