Substitute cafeteria workers in Wareham schools will be getting a bump in pay following a unanimous vote of the School Committee on Nov. 9. 

“We are having a great deal of difficulty finding cafeteria subs,” said Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Shaver-Hood. “Actually, we have one sub — and that’s all we have. We cannot get anyone else to work.” 

Shaver-Hood asked the committee to raise pay from $13.50 an hour to $15 an hour. 

“By doing this we anticipate it could raise the cafeteria budget $50 a month,” she said. “That would be the impact.” 

The committee unanimously approved Shaver-Hood’s request after almost no discussion.
