[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If FCPS offered $10K pay bump for special Ed teachers for say 1,000 special education teachers, it would be $10million. Still less than they are paying in lawyer fees and lawsuit settlements each year. 
The teachers would be happy and they might be more willing to do the difficult job, so more people going into it. 
Or, the $10million could be 500 special Ed teachers get the 10K pay bump per year and 500 long term aids get an extra $12.50/hr (so $32.50 if the $20/hr pay indicated is correct).
More money would help in finding people. [/quote]

I’m a parent of a child with an IEP but also a teacher.  I am currently certified in special education and general ed, teaching general ed.  I would not switch back to special ed for an extra 10k.  They are stretched too thin, there are unrealistic demands and our special ed teachers are getting it from both ends.  Admin and parents.  I don’t have a good solution.  It’s a terrible mess.  We are currently looking into private schools for my child but I’m not sure they will be better either.  It’s discouraging. [/quote]
