[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope this extends to other staff.  The pay for those who support the school (IAs, subs(!!!), custodians and food service) is way below where it should be for the amount of work required of them.  Everything rolls downhill at schools and the lowest paid are put in the worst positions.[/quote]

I'm a teacher and I agree x100![/quote]

Thank you! It is galling to hear complaints from admin and parents when they can't find anyone who can support a 2E child in math or language arts at the secondary level, or find qualified subs for special ed. Maybe, just maybe, they should try raising the pay above poverty wages and they could find people fluent in math or skilled enough to handle a special ed classroom. Also, the custodians and food service workers have been busting their asses this whole time. They deserve hazard pay.[/quote]

SPED teachers should have their own pay scale that factors in the extra time for meetings, writing and updating IEPs, etc. Plus, SPED teachers that work with ED kids, etc should get bonuses.  [/quote]

Agreed, but I get the feeling that teachers are all married to lawyers or something. What constitutes being poorly paid? To me that's under $40,000 net pay after benefits. Are there a lot of teachers and staff who get paid this? I feel like [b]each year teachers and staff get pretty high raises[/b] and each year are still "underpaid".[/quote]

Pay might be ok but I wouldn’t agree with the part in bold.[/quote]
