Substitutes and PERS

Substitutes

I’ve updated the budget with our substitute costs for the first year. ORS 342.610 defines the minimum salary for substitute teachers. You cannot pay subs less per day than 85% of the salary of a beginning teacher who holds a bachelor’s degree. The salary of the substitute teacher shall be computed as required in this subsection based on the statewide average salary for beginning teachers who hold bachelor’s degrees. The 2013-2014 numbers are located on the OSBA Substitute teacher pay web page. I estimated our substitute teacher pay at $171.

PERS

The Charter School Handbook states that all charter school employees belong to the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). I’m confident that we can limit our employees to teachers only. I think only employing teachers should be a goal of ours. Administrators and other employees can be hired through a third party contracting firm.
