Veteran substitute teachers are frustrated over the pay being offered by a company now managing subs for Philadelphia schools. John Renfro calls the $90-a-day being offered to Philadelphia substitutes next year "a joke." He says last school year, he made more than twice that under the PFT contract. District spokesman Fernando Gallard says Source4Teachers is paying market rates in suburban districts. The teachers union, though, has filed an unfair labor practice complaint.

The governor has previously indicated opposition to both but said he’ll withhold his veto for now pending a review of those bills.
