STIPENDS FOR SUBSTITUTES BCPS would like to offer a 2nd semester incentive for current substitutes to work more frequently. $1250.00 additional dollars can be earned in the 2nd semester. This money would be paid within the June 30, 2024 paycheck providing substitutes a paycheck in the summer. ● Any substitute who works the equivalent of at least 50 full days between January 16, 2024 and May 24, 2024 will receive a stipend of $1000. ● Any substitute who works 10 full Fridays between January 16, 2024 and May 24, 2024 will receive a stipend of $250.* *The 10 Fridays are eligible to factor in for the 50 days. Long term substitutes are not eligible for this stipend, since they are already paid at a higher rate than daily substitutes.
