one-on-one aide
Posted October 31st, 2006 by one-on-one
The student that I work with will be out of school for about 4 weeks. I was notified that I was not to work during this time. There will be no pay, needless to say. Has this happened to anyone else?

Wow that stinks! I work one on one with a kindergarten student for part of the day but the rest of the time I have other classrooms I am assigned to. My student resently missed a week of school and my principal kept me busy during that time.

When my student was absent for a month I was given other assignments, including one on one with a child who had broken both arms, he only needed a one on one for a few weeks so that would have been a hardship on the school if I had not been available. I don't know what the rules are where you work, but I am always welcome to help in any of the special education classrooms since my funding does come out of special ed. What I'm not suppose to do, but have ended up doing, is making copies, working in the library filing books. What I do has to fall under the guidelines of special education or special needs.

Has anybody heard anything about this? It sure would help us out. No more worrying about if we have a job the next year,insurance,and 26 week pay. I work in special ed. ED room. I would like to have back-up if something were to happen legal wise. Right now we have nothing.
This is not your everyday housewife job anymore. I am a single parent trying to make it on a 12,000.00 year pay. I have to find summer work which is getting more difficult.

THE SPECIAL EDUCATION PARAS IN MY TOWN IN INDIANA WENT UNION ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO.. SENIORITY AND BIDDING RIGHTS WERE IMPORTANT TO US AND THAT WAS ACHIEVED THROUGH OUR UNION. WE ALSO GOT OUR HEALTH CARE COSTS REDUCED. WE TOO HAVE THE ISSUE OF LOW INCOME AND SINGLE WOMEN NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET. WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THESE ISSUES THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS AND CONTRACTS.
