Substitute Teacher – Kimberly School District Kimberly School District is seeking dependable, flexible, and student-focused individuals to join our substitute teacher pool. Substitute teachers play an important role in keeping learning moving when our regular classroom teachers are unable to be in the classroom.

Compensation

Substitute teacher pay is based on education level:

• Without a bachelor's degree: $110 full day / $55 half day
• Bachelor's degree or higher: $125 full day / $67.50 half day
• Long-Term Substitute Assignments: Substitutes who hold an active teaching certificate may qualify for long-term substitute pay. The rate is $125 per day for the first 10 consecutive days in the same assignment. For substitutes who meet the active teaching certificate requirement, beginning on day 11, the substitute will be paid at the first-year teacher rate for each additional consecutive day in that assignment. A break in the assignment resets the long-term substitute calculation.
