Indian Prairie Superintendent Adrian Talley said the district is in desperate need of more substitute teachers. Naperville’s two school districts are among the largest employers in the town.

Daily pay for substitute teachers in Indian Prairie District 204 is increasing up from $100 to $115 this fall so the district can remain competitive in a tight substitute market, school officials say.

According to the survey, 80% of responding superintendents reported using existing teachers during their prep time and 56% tapped administrators to deal with substitute shortages. Louis Lee, District 204′s assistant superintendent for Human Resources, said they continue to have challenges in filling teaching and support staff positions with qualified substitutes.
