Sub substitute funds run near depletion amid flu tied budget shifts
The Frederick County Education Board shifted funds last year to finance a five percent administrator pay raise after county commissioners declined direct funding. With a severe flu season, substitute funds are nearly exhausted, prompting principals to replace absent teachers with regular staff and aides half days. The county teachers association notes potential breaches of the negotiated agreement and warns of planning-period losses, while officials say efforts have avoided a deficit and focus on children. Substitute pay ranges from 16.90 to 29 dollars per day and remains outside the negotiated agreement.
