[QUOTE="SRL, post: 267318, member: 701"] Our elementary school houses the severe and profound kids, along with about half of the district's kids with Autism, etc. who needed dedicated classrooms (at least they did until this past year when it went to inclusion...which has opened up a whole new set of problems). Through the years that aide situation has always been the same: a number of aides that have been working there for years and have experience under their belt and a lot that cycle through working a year or two and then moving on (kids out of college, moms who want to work at the school because it fits their schedule, etc). I don't mean to defend what's going on with this para because aides of any age, background, and experience level are both good and bad but the turnover is a huge expense to the district. Ditto with bus drivers who cost about $1500 to train and turn over at a rate approaching 40%. It's a big problem. [/QUOTE]
