Poor Salary

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Colleagues are helpful and in the same boat.

Cons

Salary is deficient for the amount of work involved. Barely $19,000 for 10 months and medical benefits are not good at all. Very expensive. Weekly pay is not enough to pay the premiums. Children are physically aggressive ( bite, kick, and scratch).

Your frustration is understandable – we know how important paraprofessionals are to education, and we strive to influence rate increases where we can. We do offer a variety of training opportunities (check out the Resources Portal on our website for more information). Also, please reach out to your district manager to discuss any additional training needs. We will do our best to accommodate you!
