Employment Opportunities
The Monticello School District maintains a master list of substitute teachers, teaching assistants, teacher aides, monitors, typists, registered nurses and food service workers. This list is used by each of the schools to contact substitutes when a regular employee is absent.
Substitute teachers
Preference is given to substitutes who have a valid New York State permanent
teaching certificate or provisional certificate. Undergraduates in college are
also eligible if they are in their junior year or better. The district also
contacts at least three professional references prior to adding an applicant to
the substitute list.
Substitute teaching rates for the 2008-09 school year are as follows:
-
Certified with Masters, $80 per day
-
Certified (without Masters), $80 per day
-
Non-certified, $65 per day
-
School nurse (R.N. or L.P.N.), $75 per day
Consecutive Days
After
fifteen (15) consecutive days a substitute replacing the
same teacher will receive
(starting on the sixteenth day) a daily rate of 1/200 of Step 1
of the teacher’s contract. In order to qualify for this
adjustment, the substitute must have the degree and
certification needed to be placed on a regular teacher's salary
schedule. This does not apply to
non-certified substitutes. Non-certified substitutes will
continue on a per diem rate of $65.00 per day for the duration
of their assignment.
If after completing an assignment running more than 15
consecutive days, the substitute is placed by the district in
another long term replacement, the substitute will continue at
the daily rate of 1/200 of Step 1. (The new assignment must be
in the same subject area; for example an elementary assignment
followed by a 2nd elementary assignment.)
The following also applies:
1. The practice of increasing pay to $1 more per day after every
100 days of subbing in the district was discontinued, effective
Sept. 1, 1996.
2. Every substitute teacher who is presenting receiving more
than the previous base pay (due to substituting more than 100
days in the district) will continue to receive the amount earned
under the previous guidelines. In addition, their base pay will
increase to the amount outlined below:
Previous Present
Non-certified $48 per day $65 per day
Certified $50 per day $80 per day
Cert. with Master's Degree $52 per day $80 per day
This pay scale will be reviewed by the Board of Education in
July of every year.
