“It’s not a livable wage,” said Carolina Galvan, a paraprofessional at Valdez Elementary. “It’s a poverty wage. We deserve better. Our families deserve better.”
Bonnie Saenz spends about $40 each month from her own paycheck to buy slime, bouncy balls and other trinkets for students at Marie L. Greenwood, Early-8 to praise them for progress they make in reading.But Saenz, who gets paid $15.87 an hour, said it’s hard to make ends meet, which is why she’s urging the district to give support staff raises. Every month, there are one or two bills that won’t get paid until the next month, she said.
Galvan said she’s unable to afford the district’s health insurance plan, which would cost between $300 and $400 a month. She receives health care from a local clinic that offers a discount and her daughter qualifies for free lunches at school despite Galvan working for the district, she said.
