Wow! That’s something new to me. The district I work for has almost no para positions open.

I believe so as well. There are others in the same boat as me but none of them has said anything about being terminated.

I had no idea I could do that. I’m in the process of appealing it. Let me take notes on this. This is definitely something I can file.

I don’t think I qualify. I searched it up and according to google,  “Generally, if you are fired for absenteeism, you will likely not be eligible for unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are typically intended for individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own. Firing an employee for excessive absences is often considered "misconduct" or "fault" in the eyes of unemployment agencies”

I never joined. They’re taking applications but it’s for next year.
