Tuesday, May 30, 2023 About 6 weeks ago, the company that provides substitutes for our school district announced an incentive program. They had one last spring that gave us the opportunity to work lots of Mondays and Fridays and for special ed departments to earn bonuses. I got several. It was fun. This year was
