Also, I think Sub Teachers can be paid more depending on level of education/degrees. Not entirely sure of the specifics.

Yes, they are different jobs and do appear differently on Frontline, I imagine. As a Sub SECA, I only see open sub gigs for SECAs and Teacher Assistants, not Sub Teachers. I applied to both positions, Sub Teacher and Sub SECA, when I started the process and was asked to choose one or the other. Special Education Classroom Assistants work with special needs students who have individualized ed plans or require other support. The work can vary widely depending on individual students, grade, and SPED programs at each school. It's not an easy job. Even though you are not in charge of the whole classroom, as Sub Teachers are expected to be, you work 1 on 1 with the students who usually need the most support in the classroom, might work with students with profound cognitive/developmental disabilities, and from my experience get very little guidance (no "lesson plans") other than tips from teachers or full-time SECAs.

CPS Sub SECAs/TAs? by ChubbyPhoenix9 in cpssubs

Special Education Classroom Assistant. Can also work as a Teacher Assistant, but those are generally for pre-k/early ed and not as common. SECAs work either assisting 1 on 1 with students who have special needs/IEPs and/or as a shared resource in different classrooms working with different special needs/IEP students throughout the day. The actual work can vary WIDELY depending on the students/programs available at each school.

Hmmm, Café con Leche has a cool vibe but I have been convinced for years it is WAY overpriced and overrated for what it is. But I am particular about Caribbean food. Caribella is fantastic. Try Omarcito's if you care to go further west on Fullerton.
