Some substitute teachers in St. Johns County, Florida, are considering leaving due to concerns over possible pay cuts following the district’s partnership with Kelly Services to manage substitute hiring. Kelly reportedly plans to cut a $20 bonus for subs working on Mondays and Fridays and will pay only $15/hour for regular and long-term subs, with $18/hour for retired subs—lower than the district’s previous rates. Retired sub Connie Frostenson expressed concern this will deter teachers. Meanwhile, Kelly will bill the district $19–$23 per hour and has a contract lasting through June 2029. The district maintains the partnership will help improve fill rates and offer benefits like professional development to attract and retain subs.
