SAN ANTONIO — The Southwest Independent School District is increasing pay for substitute teachers.

The rates are as follows:

  • Certified teachers: $150/day

  • Non-degreed: $115/day
  • Instructional aide: $95/day

This comes after the San Antonio Independent School District's Board of Trustees is expected to vote on a significant daily pay rate increase for substitute teachers for the spring of 2022, the district said in a news release. 

The board will hear a presentation at 5:30 p.m. Monday. In reviewing the data, SAISD found that the highest number of unfilled jobs are on Mondays and Fridays so – the district adjusted its plan.
