We are paid fairly well in Washington state. I have been at my district for 6 years and I make $20/hour-plus retirement, medical, dental and vison. We are union protected which can be good and bad.

I am in Washington state and we are paid better than many here. My district pays the least/hour in the county but I am still at $20/hour. I have great medical and retirement. I have worked for my district 5 years and am at step 4/7 for our union pay scale.

Just over minimum wage here (until the minimum wage goes up in January. Then we'll be right back at minimum) . I could make more at a fast food restaurant. 😞 The only saving grace is that I have the same days off as my kids (or I will as soon as we are back to 5 days in person).

Oh, and we can't go over 29 hours. That would make us "full time" and the district would have to offer us benefits.

I think starting pay is $14 an hour. It’s my 5th year and i make $17.50/hr

I’m in Eastern Washington been in same district 8 years 17.50 plus benefits. We do not get COVID pay.

Additional Posts in Paraprofessionals

I love my job and have been doing it for years. My Principal is good to me as well! The problem is...the Paraprofessionals at my school are never recognized. You have Teachers Day, Secretaries Day, Principal's Day, etc. Paraprofessional Day comes and goes at my school every year with nothing mentioned to us. Paraprofessionals in my department (Sped) wear many hats on certain days and work extremely hard (mentally/physical)! Does anyone else get this treatment?

All year, she was much more withdrawn and ALWAYS on her phone! At the end of the I was 'beat up by her - she really knocked my glasses off.

How should I approach her in the upcoming year?
