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]

IAs get benefits, it’s basically the only reason to have the job. It is a salaried and full benefits job. I was an IA for about 3 years while in grad school, I had the job literally for the benefits. How anyone survives on the salary is beyond me.

Also to the homophobe in the comments raging, not that it matters, but IAs don’t get their own rooms to decorate. In no school that I’ve taught in has that ever been a thing. There is a significant difference between being tasked with supervision of a room and being responsible for that room itself.

A teacher with a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge pride flag in my room :)

After this, perhaps you should take it down![/quote]
