TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - The Marana Unified School District is offering a temporary pay increase for Certified Substitute Teachers through the 2020-21 academic year.
On Feb. 11, The MUSD Governing Board unanimously approved a recommendation to raise the pay for substitute teachers to $140/day, and $165/day for long-term commitments.
The district says the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the number of substitute teachers willing to work in classrooms, while increasing the need for substitutes- as teachers who are exposed to COVID-19 must quarantine or isolate.
