In California, they cannot replace a paid position with a volunteer
California Education Code Section 35021.
(b) No district may abolish any of its classified positions and
utilize volunteer aides, as authorized herein, in lieu of classified
employees who are laid off as a result of the abolition of a
position. A district shall not refuse to employ a person in a vacant
classified position and use volunteer aides in lieu of filling the
classified position.

Subject: [LM_NET] Share: Job Cuts
Friends:
Last night, the East Grand Rapids School Board budget committee announced pending
budget cuts for the upcoming school year.
Included:
Eliminating all elementary para-educators (3 libraries)
Eliminating part-time media specialists Elem/Middle (.7 contract)
Having 1 district media specialist serving 5 district libraries.
The "plan" is to man elementary libraries with parent volunteers. Para-eds have
been left in place at the middle & high school to serve 1,500 kids.
So, the personal part is that after 5 years in my position--and increasing student
yearly circulations from 7,000 a year to 18,000 a year--I'm being rotated back to a
classroom.
The vote for this issue will be in June. Those of you from Michigan, feel free to
write your legislators about perhaps signing off on a school budget.
