Salem-Keizer Schools Outsource Substitute Staffing to Private Firm

Salem-Keizer Public Schools will outsource its substitute teachers and staff to Edustaff, a national private staffing firm, beginning this fall. This decision, impacting approximately 1,200 individuals, aims to improve staffing levels and fill rates within the district. However, some current substitutes have voiced concerns regarding the loss of access to the state's retirement system and potential changes to their school relationships.
