Board of Education Regular Meeting

Substitute Bus Operators - Last year the Board approved a rate increase to $18.50/hr. for routes and $15.00/hr for trips.

In negotiations, we did away with trip rates and are not paying our operators their hourly rate for all assignments.  The base rate for our operators is $20.95.  

I'd like to open a discussion about removing the trip rate for our substitute operators and paying them their hourly rate for trips, so their payment method aligns with the way our daily operators are paid. I'd also like to propose that if the Board is in favor of making a change that consideration is given to making a motion to change the substitute trip rate of $15 to the substitute hourly rate of $18.50.
