Campus supervisor and yard duty pay in California, by district (2026–27)

Updated 2026-11-05

The typical California district pays campus supervisors and yard duty staff about $18.31 to $22.02 an hour this school year. The highest posted pay right now is at Clayton Valley Charter High School ($30.73–$39.96/hr), Aspire Public Schools - Los Angeles County ($21.42–$38.80/hr) and San Leandro Unified School District ($22.46–$35.83/hr). 506 of these jobs are open today at 233 districts and schools.

The tables below cover 332 districts and schools, from 1,347 postings since July 1, and they update every day.

The shortest school job

Noon duty, yard duty, campus supervisor, campus monitor: the names differ, the job is keeping students safe at recess, lunch, drop-off and pick-up. It's the shortest shift at a school, often 2 to 4 hours in the middle of the day, which is exactly why parents of students at that school take it. At high schools the job is bigger: campus supervisors there work most of the day, handle hallways and gates, and are paid more than elementary yard duty.

Postings usually ask for a high school diploma or the equivalent and experience with kids. Everyone is fingerprinted and does a TB risk assessment. A few security-officer titles ask for more, like a state guard card or CPR and first aid, and those sit at the top of the range.

The pay here is hourly, and the number of hours is the thing to check: a $20 job for 2 hours a day is about $200 a week, and most of these jobs follow the school calendar.

Where these numbers come from

We read every campus supervision posting on EDJOIN and on the job boards of districts that post elsewhere, as long as it's open now or went up after July 1, 2026, and keep the ones that list an hourly rate. Substitutes and managers are left out. Pay changes, so check the posting before you apply.
