130 Paraprofessionals Are Needed In Gwinnett Public Schools
www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com
Gwinnett County Public Schools is struggling to hire paraprofessionals, who are critical to helping many special-needs students.
The district hired 400 paraprofessionals this year, but it\u2019s not enough, officials said. So the district\u2019s board of education recently decided to contract with a third-party vendor \u2014 ESS \u2015 to fill more than 130 vacancies.
\u201cWe hear the need and we feel the sense of urgency, and to date everything that we\u2019ve tried has not yielded the results that we desire,\u201d said Monica Batiste, associate superintendent for human resources.
