As school districts nationwide continue to struggle to find enough substitute teachers, Kalamazoo Public Schools will increase guest teacher pay beginning January 3, 2022.
The district’s Guest Teacher Committee, made up of members from Kalamazoo Education Association, UAW, and central administration, made the decision earlier this month. School officials say the top priority for the committee, which has been meeting since last school year, has been to increase guest teacher pay as soon as possible to try to attract more guest teachers.
