[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Critical staffing is temporary part-time and extremely difficult to fill. There are no benefits and no job security. There also is no paid leave. The jobs are hard and at the lowest end of the pay scale.  [/quote]

Honestly, that just makes MCPS look even worse here.

The problem isn't the kids-- it's the school district.[/quote]

DP.  Then we need to pay more taxes to fund higher pay for those positions.[/quote]

Yes. And/or cut from elsewhere in the budget. It's a &gt;$3 billion budget. We can pay for health insurance for paras.[/quote]

Health insurance claim cost rose 13% this year creating an even further deficit in the employee benefit plan to the tune of $40M projected deficit.  It’s a $3Billion budget that covers 25K employees and services to school and kids.

There are going to be cuts, changes to insurance(at the next contract) and likely project delays.

Go watch the budget meetings.[/quote]

For the price of McKnight's settlement, MCPS could have covered health insurance for nearly 200 paraeducators.

MCPS absolutely has the money to pay benefits to paraeducators if they wanted to address the kinds of problems referenced in this thread. [/quote]
