I am a district employee.
My pay breakdown is 7 hours a day for 188 days a year spread across 12 months.
I was talking to my boss about some things regarding next year, and she mentioned that we are all getting a “Substantial” pay increase. I asked if she knew about what that would be yet and she said it was somewhere around $20.60 an hour. Go ahead and do that math really quick.
Now, sure, that’s about a dollar more than I’m making now, but when I didn’t immediately jump for joy she graciously reminded me how great of a raise that is to get in one year and how they’ve had years where they couldn’t give raises at all. She was genuinely sour with my reaction.
Anyway, paraeducators in this district get more PTO and make $27 to start and need less education.
Might be time for a job change.
