WEST JORDAN, Utah — The Jordan School District announced a incentive pay program Thursday to entice new substitute teachers.

Facing an employee shortage seen in other industries, the district will pay up to $500 for substitute teachers who work a certain number of days between Oct. 25 and Dec. 15, 2021.

Those who enter the incentive program cannot cancel a previously accepted substitute teaching job.
