Some of this pay raise is largely driven by districts that were at the bottom of the substitute pay distribution last time around, as the lowest starting substitute teacher pay has increased from $8.07 to $9.14 (adjusted for regional price differences). This increase stems from two sources: districts that implemented a pay raise for their substitute teachers and districts with newly defined substitute teacher pay policies. Since NCTQ's last analysis of substitute earnings in September 2020, the average starting pay for substitute teachers in the districts in our sample increased from $13 to $15.50 per hour (adjusted for regional price differences), an increase of almost 20%. This District Trendline looks at substitute pay increases during the pandemic in 150 large school districts across the country, as well as other strategies that these districts are using to attract substitute teachers in the midst of a widespread shortage. In the Fall of 2020, for example, Billings Public Schools (MT) had increased their starting substitute daily rate by 67%! In mid-December 2021, Secretary of Education Cardona wrote a letter in which he encouraged district leaders to use their American Rescue Plan funds to 'recruit and train high-quality substitute teachers.' Many school districts had already taken that initiative. A recent study by the Center for Education Data & Research (CEDR) collected job posting data for the state of Washington and found that among all teaching positions, the largest number of unfilled positions in the Fall of 2021 was for substitute teachers. One thing is clear: districts desperately need substitutes. Unfortunately, there continues to be a dearth of published data to better understand this problem (or for that matter, any issues regarding teacher supply and demand).

In spite of nationwide concerns about a ' great resignation' and overall shortage of workers, there is much yet unknown about the extent of these shortages in the teacher workforce.
