Last summer Superintendent Greene said having subs wasn't a problem and we had 2k ready to go, though almost immediately when the school year began we knew that wasn't true, and the school board admitted it, sort of, when they signed an MOU with the union, to increase teacher sub pay.
This MOU proves two things, the district completely disrespects elementary school teachers, and there has been a bog and persistent problem with getting subs.
We all know Greene wasn't honest last summer, or at the very least should have known better and in my mind, this just proves it.
Here is the MOU
COVID-19 has imposed a hardship upon us all. The Substitute System has not escaped that hardship as they have struggled in their responsibility to fill vacant teacher positions. Classroom teachers are often called upon to be used as substitutes in order to provide appropriate coverage for classes. To that end, DTU and the DCSB has reached an agreement to increase compensation for teachers who voluntarily agree to act as substitutes or who accept students from another class when a peer teacher is absent, and a substitute can’t be acquired.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed to provide additional compensation for classroom teachers who assume these responsibilities as follows.
Coverage Time | Compensation |
Secondary Schools on a 4 Period Day | $28.00 |
Secondary Schools on a Seven-Period Day | $22.00 |
Alternative Schools on a 4 Period Day | $28.00 |
Alternative: Students Divided Among 4 Teachers | $22.00 for Full Day; $11.00 for Half Day |
Elementary: Students Divided by 4 Teachers | $22.00 for Full Day; $11.00 for Half Day |
The MOU is in effect from January 18, 2021 through June 30, 2021 and will not be applied to days prior to the effective date of this signed agreement.
