Substitute Pay Incentive Approved For Fulton Schools

FULTON COUNTY, GA — Fulton County Schools is providing a temporary pay incentive to substitutes. The incentive started Dec. 1 and will expire May 31, 2021. Fulton County Schools has experienced a growing need for substitute personnel. To recruit needed substitutes, the district said it has established an incentive plan that raises the daily pay rate while also expanding the number of days, from 17 to 20, that a substitute can work each month.

The daily pay rate for a paraprofessional/clinic/clerical substitute will increase from $80 to $100; substitute teacher rates will increase from $100 to $175 daily, and long-term substitute teacher assignments will increase from $120 to $200 daily.

Additionally, Fulton Schools will pay $75 to quarantined individuals who are substituting in the teacher role only. This is a one-time incentive. The quarantine must result from direct contact with a positive COVID-19 staff member or student while substituting on a Fulton County campus. A Fulton County COVID-19 Response Team nurse must direct the quarantine.
