KPS Increases Guest Teacher Wages

Wages

Kalamazoo Public Schools recently issued the following announcement.

Kalamazoo Public Schools will increase guest teacher pay beginning Jan. 3. 

The district’s Guest Teacher Committee, made up of members from KEA, UAW, and central administration, made the decision on Dec. 9. 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.

The committee was led by Steve Leland in Human Resources. Superintendent Dr. Rita Raichoudhuri attended the first two meetings. 

This collaborative effort is the beginning of the district's efforts to increase its guest teacher pool. The committee will be working in future months to roll out other initiatives to recruit and retain much-needed guest teachers.

The other main area of focus of the group has been to create a more welcoming learning environment for guest teachers.
