Fayette County is joining other districts in metro Atlanta in giving its substitutes a raise in pay.
The south metro Atlanta community’s board of education agreed earlier this week to pay $20 more a day to substitutes who work more than 40 days in a school year.
The new pay rates, according to the district, work out this way:
Substitutes who work daily with a valid teaching certificate from any state can earn $100 per day. A substitute with an expired teaching certificate from any state will earn $95 and ones with no teaching certificate from any state can earn $95. Former Fayette County Schools paraprofessionals with a para license can also earn $95.
