Only teachers who retire from McCracken County Schools or retirees from other school districts who spent a minimum of fifteen (15) years as a
certified employee in McCracken County Schools and return as substitute teachers will be paid this rate regardless of their rank. (Experience


shall be verified by McCracken County Schools.) If the rate exceeds the teacher's Daily Wage Threshold (DWT) from the Kentucky Teachers


Retirement System, the DWT will be paid. Retired teachers, regardless of the district from which they retired, are limited to working 169 days


per school year. Retired teachers from McCracken County and those with a minimum of 15 years experience in McCracken County Schools will


be honored with this rate of pay due to their familiarity with the facilities, staff, local policies, local culture, families, and students; loyalty to the


district; experience; and to encourage teachers to seek employment with the district and remain with the district knowing this benefit is


available to them upon retirement. Retirees who meet this criteria and serve as a substitute teacher covering for the absence of a classroom


teacher shall earn $200/day plus applicable premium pay. Retirees who meet this payment criteria and are performing other duties (not to


cover for the absence of a classroom teacher) shall earn $135/day plus applicable premium pay.


Substitute teachers who teach twenty (20) or more consecutive days at a school for the same teacher shall be paid from the certified teacher


salary scale. Once twenty (20) days are worked consecutively in one position, a maximum of one (1) day may be missed for each twenty (20)


days worked without reverting back to substitute pay. If a substitute teaches in a vacant position and is hired as a teacher for that position, they


shall be paid for their consecutive time subbing in that same position from the certified teacher salary scale, regardless of whether or not they


taught as a substitute for twenty (20) or more consecutive days in that position.




Substitutes or interim employees serving in administrative positions will be paid at the position's daily rate, subject to the Daily Wage Threshold (DWT) allowed by the Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System, if applicable.



Substitute teachers must hold a valid certificate issued by the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board.
