But we also have unqualified teachers anxious to get these kids for the extra somethin’ somethin’ in their paychecks.

I don't know what state pays a teacher more money for any special needs children in their class. In CA, there is only your regular salary. Some are not even offered an extra aide because there is no money in the coffers for an extra salary

I do believe that some individual school districts may have a higher base salary in high crime areas. But that goes for all salaries at that school.

We don't get any extra money or assistance in my state either.
