[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP posting on IEPs here. WTU members please look at the MCPS contract and all that it provides to help MCEA members carry out this duty. There is a LOT more you can get, but only if you ask. [/quote]

Hello SN teacher here. You really think we haven’t asked? DCPS is notorious for choosing to be sued rather than do what is legally required. [b]There’s even a group of SN teachers talking to the district on their own since the union isn’t helping us. [/b]We are getting nowhere btw, because if you look at who is running sped departments NONE of them are former teachers and all of them just have a business degree. They do not the first thing about special education and only care about their 180k+ checks. It’s all about who you know here and not qualifications.

And looking over MCPS’ contract, I can see we have some similar things included in our except DCPS always gets loopholes. Also MCPS has a substitute shortage as well, albeit not as bad as ours. It was 53%, which is still significant.

What to do when no one wants to work in education or is unqualified? 
I think that’s one of the biggest issues because the sub pay in MCPS is way more than DCPS and they still have a shortage.

I was lucky because my school could provide coverage but that will change because 2 of our long term subs are leaving.
