From where do the EY HRs procure the resumes?
The new company I’m at now sent me an email from an email address that was HR@companyName.careers saying I was accepted for the position. They gave me paperwork to fill out and sign to accept the position
I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?
What…..

That is horrible! I think you should look at other school districts in your area. Paras at my school are our partners. They have contracts like the teachers do. They are paid on a scale based on education and experience. We all know that we could not do our jobs without para support. You deserve better. Don’t be afraid to look elsewhere!
I absolutely love working at our highschool and unfortunately it's a small enough area there's nothing else that pays any better. Not to mention as a Para I'm not employed legally thru the district. There is a middleman agency that is my legal employer. They are who decides pay and wether or not I get to keep my job every year. This middleman controls all of the Para positions with the exception of a few district spots but none of those are at the school I work at.
Paras did not receive nearly enough compensation for the job they do.
It's heartbreaking to see how little teachers, substitute teachers, paraeducators, and assistant teachers are paid, despite the dedication and hard work they put in every day. How can we expect them to support their families on such low wages, while athletes earn millions?
In countries like Finland and other top-performing nations, teachers are respected and well-compensated for their critical role in shaping the future. I hope our leaders in the United States wake up and start recognizing the value of educators.
May change come soon!
Consider a private school or ABA therapy clinic. It's similar work and schedule; the pay starts around 20/hr.
