Paraprofessionals: The Hidden Backbone of Special Ed | Green Bay News

About this episode

Wisconsin schools are facing a crisis as demand for paraprofessionals surges—driven by rising special education needs despite shrinking student rolls. These unsung heroes provide essential one-on-one support, but low pay, high stress, and staffing shortages are forcing schools to scramble, often at the expense of other students. Without better pay, training, and recognition, these vital roles risk collapsing, leaving kids with disabilities without the consistent help they need to thrive in the classroom.
