A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO INCREASE THE PAY OF SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 115C-303(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	No teacher shall be placed on the payroll of a local school administrative unit unless the teacher holds a certificate as required by law, and unless a copy of the teacher's contract has been filed with the superintendent.  No teacher may be paid more than the teacher is due under the local school salary schedule in force in the local school administrative unit.
Substitute and interim teachers shall be paid under rules of the State Board of Education.  Substitute teachers who hold a teacher certificate shall be paid ninety percent (90%) of the daily salary of an entry-level teacher with an 'A' certificate, rounded to the nearest dollar.  Substitute teachers who do not hold a teacher certificate but have completed effective teacher training shall be paid seventy-five percent (75%) of the daily salary of an entry-level teacher with an 'A' certificate, rounded to the nearest dollar.  Substitute teachers who neither hold a teacher certificate nor have completed effective teacher training shall be paid sixty percent (60%) of the daily salary of an entry-level teacher with an 'A' certificate, rounded to the nearest dollar."
Sec. 2.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to State Aid to Local School Administrative Units the sum of three million four hundred seventeen thousand seven hundred seventy-three dollars ($3,417,773) for the 1994-95 fiscal year to increase the pay of all substitute teachers as provided in Section 1 of this act.
Sec. 3.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1994.
