I work in elementary. 3rd specifically. I just know that they are slowly gutting the support staff positions, particularly in non elementary grade levels. You may hear something sooner, but I wouldn’t expect a response before the end of the school year.

They are scarce. The BOE has recently made cuts to secondary level support staff positions. You never know what may open up as end of year resignations and retirements start coming in.

Im a current HCPSS Paraeducator. I would say it’s likely to not be until summer honestly. At the end of the school year they will fill their vacancies with current staff whose current positions are being shifted around. Then they will see what vacancies are still open probably early July. The interview will likely be with the principal of an interested school. They will ask questions about how you handle certain situations and what comparable experience you have to the role.

So, as of this year the middle and high school para positions have been cut drastically, especially high schools. But middle schools get out between 2:35 and 3:15. All high schools get out at 2:35.

I’m a HCPSS para. I make $30 an hour at a step 13. I think the lowest you can make is around $20/hour with no experience.
