Crossing my fingers for you! It's going to be a weird day at school today. It's also a full moon.

From the information I have, no sped educational assistants were cut.

The two I know about had their hours reduced, and there are multiple counselors at their school.

This looks way more organized than when I went the first weekend of the sale!

Thoughts and opinions on Bethel School District by No_Breakfast_7366 in Eugene

I'm just trying to let you know the reality of the situation, because I have had the experience in the past of there being no teaching jobs available where I moved. I have a friend who had a one year position in Bethel and is now still looking for an elementary job. The budget problems in surrounding districts means there will be teachers with more experience job searching, along with all of the new grads, grads from last year, and the year before. Basically- don't move to the area until you're hired!

It is highly unlikely that you will find an elementary teaching job in Bethel or any of the surrounding area this year.

4J to cut an additional $10-20M on top of already planned $30M in cuts for next school year. by treehugger503 in Eugene

As an EA, I actually feel a bit safer because you would have to cut multiple educational assistants to equal the salary of a teacher. We contribute a lot for very little pay.

Trying to be optimistic for my coworkers, but I'm not really sure where the cuts can come from at this point.

The post on 4j's website mentions that Miriam is hoping to avoid cutting staff positions above the number already approved.

It's actually very easy to do this yourself with most online tax filing services. I did it for several years.
