Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The estimated cost of this proposal is $18,994,352. This estimate includes both the increased salaries paid to substitute teachers as well as the applicable employee benefit costs.
Because there are no proposed changes to increase the allowance for substitute salaries under Step 6 of the Public School Support Program, there would be no additional cost to the State. The full cost would have to be borne by the county boards of education.
The estimate was computed by surveying selected county boards to determine the percentage of substitute teachers this proposal would effect. Based on this survey, it was determined that approximately 85% of substitute teachers would be entitled to the full pay of a regular teacher. As a result, it is estimated that the proposal would increase salary costs for substitute teachers by $17,475,713, based on FY12 expenditures, and adding the applicable employee benefits of 8.69% increases the total cost to $18,994,352, which is a 34.9% increase in substitute teacher costs.
