CHESANING — The Chesaning Union School District is exploring options for contracting with a private firm to provide substitute teachers. According to Tom Daluca, the district’s director of finance, the research is necessary to ensure that money saving options are available to the district. In an August interview with Michigan Privatization Report Daluca said that the district had been presented with "one brief overview" by an individual who explained services that could be provided under contract with the district. If the board chooses to contract for substitute teachers says Daluca, the plan will likely be implemented in January 2006.
