[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Special Ed jobs are similar to tech and medical positions. People with the training to be Special Ed coordinators and providers in schools can make a lot more money and have a better work enrichment in the private sector. Even private schools are losing special Ed staff to universities and private service providers. [/quote]

The same is true for other positions related to Special Education such as school psychologists, licensed clinical social workers (PPWs), occupational therapists, and speech therapists. MCPS will not be able to fill the vacant positions until the below market pay and poor work conditions are addressed. [/quote]

As a social worker, there would be zero chance I'd work for the school system.  Having one social worker per school would be an impossible job.  And, the pay is low/don't need the full benefits so there is no advantage to the school system over other jobs.  But, social work in generally is a pretty bad profession.[/quote]

Yes, I agree with this. I'm a school counselor who also has a license to do private practice and I would never go back to MCPS. It's not just the money, it's the culture. I'd sooner do private school. I feel grateful to have gotten out![/quote]
