Bremen School Board Increases Pay for Substitute Teachers

Bremen Public Schools is increasing pay for substitute teachers. The school board last week agreed to pay subs $100 per day, according to Superintendent Dr. Jim White. “I think in the fall, we’re going to have a really difficult time attracting and keeping subs, and I think it’s worth a little bit of battle pay,” White says.

In other business last week, a number of proposed updates recommended by policy consultant NEOLA were presented on first reading. White says a lot of those are technical updates to reflect the changes caused by COVID-19. Additionally, Rhonda McIntyre was appointed to the Bremen Public Library Board.
