All those kids go to gen ed at different times and 4 of them need a 1:1 in the general ed setting. I&#8217;m understaffed. I have two teacher aides with 13 kids. Im not able to provide most of what&#8217;s on their IEPs because I have 4 different grade levels in my class and teacher aides need to be with those students who will go to general ed class.<\/p>\n<p>She asked me how many more aides do I need in addition to the two. I replied I just need one. The parent wrote to the special education Executive Director\u00a0 because she is concerned for her son and the other students.<\/p>\n<p>Is this a violation of the FERPA? Is this a violation of privacy and confidentiality of the school district when I already addressed this concern to my campus administrators, special education coordinator, campus support coach. Their responses to me was just use whatever resources at hand due to the lack of budget, it is impossible to have another aide.<\/p>\n<p>The special education coordinator and my campus administrators were after me saying that I violated the confidentiality because how did the parent know about needing another teacher aide for my class and that 4 students need a 1:1. They told me I should not say anything to the parent and that I have to be careful of what I told parents. Had they provided what is needed then I would have not told the parent who I know will do something being an advocate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Girlie:\u00a0 A parent of one of my students who advocates for children with ASD, saw that I have 13 students and I am new to the district.
