Long-Term Pay
Substitute teachers with a bachelor’s degree, working in a single classroom assignment past ten days, are eligible for an elevated daily rate of pay. This compensation shall remain at the higher rate of pay until such time as the substitute teacher changes or completes the assignment. If the substitute misses a day during the continuous assignment, then the rate will revert to the regular substitute daily rate for the next ten days. Non-degreed substitutes are not eligible for the higher rate of pay regardless of the number of days worked. Long-term substitute teachers who are used in other capacities will not be eligible to receive the higher rate of pay.
Certification Rate: Must hold a Texas Education Agency Teaching Certificate.
Substitutes are not paid for absences. An absence while working a long-term assignment (single assignment of 11 days or more) is cause for the higher rate of pay to end.
Substitutes who take a half-day assignment will be paid half of their daily rate of pay.
Substitutes working a long-term assignment must work a full workday (8hrs) in order to qualify for long-term pay.
