NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Nashville Public Schools has an option for furloughed federal employees with the government shutdown entering its third week: fill in as a substitute teacher.
“We understand this is a tough time for many families impacted by what is happening at the national level,” said Amber Tyus, MNPS director of talent acquisition. “We believe this is a way for workers to find employment that benefits them and the thousands of young people we serve in this district every day.”
Substitutes can earn upwards of $1,300 every two weeks, MNPS said in a release.
There are currently 1,300 substitutes working in the district, but 2,200 are needed to accommodate about 550 teacher absences daily.
