“Maintaining a competitive rate of pay for all of our staff, including substitute teachers is critical to our goal of providing a safe and high-quality education to all students, Substitutes are vital to the successful operation and management of any school district. They play a crucial role in the staffing puzzle of any district, and this increase shows that we value their role within Midland ISD.”
