They cannot guarantee a placement, and therefore, payment. I moved to Maine after being hired by Boothby Therapy Services to work as a special education teacher in May with the understanding I would be paid by the hour. I participated fully in onboarding, team-building and training opportunities. However, I was still not placed at a school by mid September. Because of this, I was forced to use my savings to pay student loans, rent, bills and other expenses. In addition, many alternative educational opportunities were filled and I was not able to find work in my field on my own. On top of all of this, I had to pay off healthcare premium balances (that I could not access or use) which put me even further back financially. I was forced to quit because I could no longer wait for them to find me a placement as my savings were depleted.
