Have you seen the IA pay scale? [url]https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/fy25-cis.pdf[/url]

Not many people with options want to work for $25-30k per year. If they work summer school too, maybe an extra $2 or $3k. That's not a living wage even for a single person with roommates. If you want good people to take these jobs, pay them better wages.

Minimum wage in Maryland right over the river is $15/hr.  A full time worker at literally any job in MD makes the same money.[/quote]

+1. And many IAs don’t get benefits. It’s a sh&tty job. If you want better people working in schools, pay them better, offer benefits, and treat them as professionals/train them as such. We currently don’t do any of that in our school system and therefore wind up with a lot of bad staff members in schools. [/quote]

First step is getting the federal government to pay its share for IDEA mandates. They said they would pay 40% percent of costs but only pay low teens. FCPS doesn’t have to money to pay these high special Ed costs.[/quote]

IAs get benefits, but low pay. Similar to a monitor.[/quote]
