MUNCIE — In an effort to find more substitute teachers, Muncie Community Schools is doubling its highest daily sub pay rate.

Eligible daily or long-term substitutes can earn $210 per day, up from $105 per day.

In order to qualify for the higher pay rate, individuals must fit at least one of the following criteria:

• Hold a current Indiana K-12 teaching license
• Have previous certified K-12 teaching experience
• Have a master’s or doctorate degree in the field of education

Those who don't meet the criteria can earn $75 to $105 depending on their education level.
