Regarding the paraprofessional RESPECT check legislation:

Yes, we need to pass this bill. Many students are without 1:1s as we speak. The DOE knows this! Many students’ IEPs are out of compliance! Many paraprofessionals are burned out. We need this money so we can afford the cost of living in NYC. Put some respect on this bill.
