[quote=Anonymous]An aide or para educator makes around $16 an hour. There are 184 school days and about 6 hours of instruction. The average cost of an aide/ para educator for every day in school is $17,664. These are part time positions. If the allocation was .5 per school then it would be $8,832 per school. A $150,000 central office position (only a $10,000 bump from the principal step of 140K) plus 50% fringe is $225,000. 25.5 schools would receive or retain a .5 aide for ONE central admin position at the lower range of their salary step. If you get rid of only 10 central admin positions every school receives or retains a .5 aide and 105 schools with the greatest need get two .5 aides. What is more important to you? A well staffed PR office, big litigation department, bloated shared accountability office that collects data useless to students and parents, a curriculum office that produces nothing for the teachers …or teachers and aides that actually educate the students.
