The IA substitute pay is about right, but the teacher sub pay is seriously too low. The teacher is responsible for the lesson and classroom management and only gets $5 more for the whole day?

No, but it's definitely low for this area: https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/FY18-substitute-and-homebound-rates.pdf


That's fascinating that a substitute IA makes only $5 less per day than a substitute teacher.

Seriously though, there are a LOT of things I'd rather do for $100/day than sub...


I agree. I didn’t realize the difference is only 82 cents/hour.

I just adjust the settings in my sub profile to all schools. Then I delete that setting after seeing how many jobs are still available.

Yes, yes there is. Out of curiosity, where are you getting the numbers? I definitely believe you, but I don't want to screw up my settings on my sub profile and check same-day jobs in the entire county if there's an easier way.

I'm afraid to ask, but what are the requirements to be a sub?

I heard somewhere that they used to require a four-year degree but I'm not sure if that's true. I'm a sub and have heard complaints from teachers about subs being unable to read clearly or understand instructions (especially the people who sub for IAs).


Subs are required to have two years of college.
