Jan Cheney: Teachers and sub tabs

Regarding the March 22 news article “Wake covering substitute teacher costs this week”: I could not believe that teachers are expected to pay $50 toward their substitute if they are out. Teachers in this state are underpaid, and having to pay part of the sub’s pay sounds ridiculous.

I haven’t lived here very long, but there doesn’t seem like there are many incentives for the teachers. Glad Wake County is picking up the total cost of sub pay for spring break. Hats off to our dedicated teachers!
