  2. There are a few things in schools for us to do. Be a school bus monitor for the special needs kids. You get paid for 3 hours but you only are on the bus for about an hour and half. You only job is to watch the kids. Average pay 15 to 20 bucks an hour. Paraprofessional is another thing you can do with a special education kids where you help them with their class work and be their aid for the school. It’s about 30,000.a year.
