In a recent letter dated Aug. 18, 2010 to special education staff at Fort Bend ISD, Rhonda McWilliams from the human resources department decided to change its policy on reducing pay for special education paraprofessionals who were forced out of the "severe" classrooms and into the "non severe" ones in late July.
The letter reads:
"After further review for the 2010-2011 school year, it has been determined that we will maintain the 2009-10 salary amount for non severe special education aides recently reassigned. Therefore, those severe aides who were reassigned to non-severe aides will continue with your 2009-2010 salary level for one year only. As of this week, principals have been notified that they must fill severe special education aide vacancies from the list of those who were reassigned from severe to non-severe aide..."
Unfortunately, many paraprofessionals who were affected by these actions had already transferred or taken other jobs before this letter went out.
After all that stress and job insecurity, imagine receiving that letter only after you had let go of your job to work elsewhere.
