Pam Jones said the OCS Human Resources department does these, and some people are forthcoming, while others are not.

Todd LoFrese said yes. He said having a TA in a classroom is a benefit. Commissioner Jacobs asked if there is survey data from teachers about what is the basis for job satisfaction. He asked if it is the salary, the supplement, the TA, proximity to home, additional support staff, etc. Todd LoFrese said he does not have that information, but everything sited by Commissioner Jacobs are factors. Tom Forcella said in his experience in other parts of the country where there are teachers' unions, salary was always the highest indicator of job satisfaction.
