(Dover, DE) -- The Capital School District Board of Education is increasing pay for substitutes. The new rates began October 24th and will raise pay by as much as 10-dollars per day. Mary Cooke, the director of human resources, said an increase in pay can help Capital attract high quality substitutes and be more competitive with neighboring districts like Caesar Rodney. Cooke said she hopes raising pay will prevent substitutes from dropping out last minute because another district offers a better rate. Human resources will give a report of whether changes in pay helped the substitute shortage at Capital in February 2020.
