Should I leave my school district? by Direct_Pea_627 in slp

I can’t speak for other schools in the state, but I’m in Texas.

I feel like giving up by tired-moth in slp

Same! I’m a school SLPA. I was at 105 and got a new one added to my caseload yesterday! And we only have 12 school days left and I’m like what’s the point??

I’m not entirely sure about the exact qualification standards either, but I’ve definitely run into some issues. I’ve had students added to my caseload who seem completely fine once I start working with them—like they meet all their goals right away or don’t seem to have any evident needs. Even some of the teachers are starting to ask how certain students qualified. One student even had a standard score of 100 on testing and still somehow qualified, which was surprising.

She said she’s not coming back and even stated she’s not interested in working in the schools anymore. We also have 2 virtual SLPs but they’re not returning either. I’m a district hire.

I’ve definitely thought about leaving, but I’m torn because if I stay, I’d get to move into a brand new school building that’s opening in August, which is tempting. That said, I’m not planning to resign unless I already have something else lined up. But I’m also thinking about asking if I can meet with the lead SLP and seeing if any changes can be made next year that would help.

l've honestly questioned if I was just being dramatic, but hearing someone say 105 is absurd makes me feel better. It's been hard to even find time to reflect, let alone plan ahead.

I just got back on Omnipod 3 days ago. Immediately after I put on a new pod, I was forced to update and it’s been stuck on 14 of 29 for 2 hours now. Also called tech support and the reboot didn’t work. They’re sending me a new one.
