@uftaction.bsky.social(2/2): Pattern bargaining is forcing our educators to take on multiple jobs and it's costing our kids.
The City needs to put an end to this – and make right by our paraprofessionals.
@uftaction.bsky.socialParaprofessionals know what’s working for each student and what’s not, by investing in the lives of the students they serve.
That makes them an irreplaceable part of our public school system, and essential to special education.
@uftaction.bsky.socialIf our city wants to attract & retain the paraprofessionals our students depend on, they need to step up support.
A starting salary of $32k/yr makes serving this city unaffordable and is causing a staffing shortage – impacting students who need critical services.
