LWSD School Board Meeting Packet, September 17, 2018

Any news on the para-educator contract? There are new requirements by state and they are requiring more certification past what was asked last year, with no compensation increase. LWSD para-educators(who actually do the majority of the job in special education minus handling IEP's) are paid less than surrounding districts like Bellevue and Northshore. Would love to know if you have heard of anything
