    KKEGS replied to Riley RN's topic in School

    Are the kids on prescription or OTC meds? Have their parents tried new meds? Claritin does squat for me but Allergra works. Zyrtec is what works for my 6 year old so maybe they need to try...

    KKEGS replied to Amethya's topic in School

  9. Less Pay?

    I do believe the saying that money isn't everything but would you ever switch districts for less pay? I certainly took less pay to get out of the hospital. I am interviewing for a new position in my...

  12. Less Pay?

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    KKEGS replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    They probably would still have to go to the after school program. We have 8 hour duty days just like the teachers and I wouldn't be in the same building as my kids BUT I'd only be paying $6 a day for...
