[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 669521, member: 19245"] You need to go to the district office to see what benefits you have. Say that you want to make sure of your coverage in case you become ill or disabled down the line. Do not tell them anything. First, if you are part time, you might not have good coversge. If you have not worked there for a long time, you might also have a small amount. Yes, they cannot fire you. But, they can 'trump' up something else and say that it was an issue with your performance or compliancy. I have friends that have coverage, while others don't at the district. I am now full time ftor the last 15 years. I pay extra to go above the normal coverage for disability. I knew, as a teacher, about my brain tumor...they did not, yet. My friend had worked as an instructional aide for 20 years at the same school. She went off for disbility for a year. She had to fight the district to come back. I took a Title I job for the district. You have to be highly qualified, but you receive no benefits or retirement because they give you 19 3/4 hours per week...just under 20. Also, it is federally funded. I did this for 10 years because my youngest son was seeing triple and I got off a bit earlier and could see specialists. I also worked almost full time, with a 15 minute unpaid lunch. I did a class before school each day and left 15 minutes before dismissal. I worked way over my hours...without more pay. Our school worked longer hours than other Title I schools in the same district and we're told that we could not fight it because we had to work around the school's schedule. We got paid half of the hourly wage for substitutes. We were told that if we fought it, that we would be let go because they could no longer afford us. Title I is federally funded so you had no tenure or benefits. You were hired year to year. We fought it and our pay was doubled AND we all kept our jobs. Do you have a Union? I would look for another job in private. There might be something at the district where you would work under someone else. Or in the private sector. Check into state disability and see if the accrued time on your other jobs that you have had in the past and this job or hours would afford you a decent monthly pay. Then SSI could be a way to go. This job is causing you to get worse. It sounds extremely stressful. Look for another job. The stress is horrible for your health. Even as a tenured teacher, the district can make your life miserable. Take care. [/QUOTE]
