The Greene County School Board voted to approve a 10% increase to substitute pay scales after Superintendent Dr. Whitmarsh presented two options and recommended the higher increase.
"The last time we revised the sub pay scales was in 2024," the superintendent said, explaining the division spent $334,629 on substitute pay last year and that a 10% increase would add roughly $33,463 to that total. Board members described substitute shortages and the difficulty of the role and said the pay increase is intended to improve recruitment and retention.
A motion to approve the 10% increase was made and seconded; the board conducted a roll-call vote and the motion passed with the members present voting aye.
