		<description>The Teaching Assistant in Unit 5 are represented by UFSPA (Unit Five Support Professionals Association), not UFEA.

The RIF referred to here only applies to certified employees of Unit 5 represented by UFEA.  

It is highly possible there may be a Reduction in Force that impacts the Teaching Assistants or other groups of employees as well.

The State&#039;s budget problems and their impact on school funding are certainly creating challenges that impact school employees and students alike.

It&#039;s important that we elect leaders at the State level that value public education and will work to fix the budget problems and inequities in school funding.</description>

		<description>Do the RIFed non-tenured teachers include teacher&#039;s assistants?  If so, this will present problems in those classrooms where &quot;challenging&quot;,mainstreamed students have to be kept on task by the only teacher in the room...at the expense of the rest of the class.  My $0.02.</description>
