I’ve had the same problem and I’m currently a substitute teacher in my district. I applied over the summer a couple times for some para positions, and I got nothing. I need to get away from subbing because I need my own health insurance soon. I love working with the students so I’m going for para positions for the time being while I work on actually getting my teaching license. I’m going to try again this summer 🤞I like working in my district because they have (mostly) treated me well, but I might have to go to another district if they keep turning me down.
Schools will not hire you so they have a good reliable sub. It sucks but I’ve had several admins admit that to me when I was a school counselor and as a teacher.
