Its more than just a nationwide shortage of WL teachers. The district has actively taken steps to weaken the WL department for several years.
There are reasons why resignations and leaves are significantly higher in Brookline’s K-8 WL program compared to other K-8 programs.
Brookline schools are planning to start the year with no K-5 language classes, amid a scramble to find teachers.

A Massachusetts Teachers Association survey from 2020 found that nearly 85 percent of its paraprofessional members made $30,000 or less.
In some state school districts, hourly wages for paraprofessionals start below the state minimum of $15 per hour. trib.al/4NIywkn
ALT Text on a black card reads: $30,000. Nearly 85 percent of paraprofessionals, or teacher’s aides, in the Massachusetts Teachers Association make this amount or less, a 2020 survey found. That's about one-third of the average teacher salary.

In the last year, paraprofessional pay has become a flashpoint in contract disputes between teachers unions and school district leaders throughout the state.
“Without them," said a parent at a strike, "my kids wouldn’t thrive in the school system.” bostonglobe.com/2023/02/23/m…

When I was a Brookline paraprofessional, I qualified and received food stamps.
Our schools cannot function without our paraprofessionals. They must be treated with dignity and respect, and that includes their pay.
One job should be enough.

"President of the Newton Teachers Association Mike Zilles said the results of the strike were “remarkable” with the salary increases they achieved in the contract."
Woburn teachers started striking on Jan. 30, demanding higher wages and improved educational standards.
