It's a good thing the health care bill passed through the House Sunday, March 21, because 224 soon to be former Omaha Public School (OPS) staff will need it. 218 of these positions are full-time an include paraprofessionals, administrators, teachers, and secretarial positions. Classes could bloom to 30 students, and the remaining teachers will have even less help managing them. I remember long ago when music instructor Jim Kordick began directing symphonic band. He had moved from Grand Island for the position, and it having a secretary was new to him. The class would sit there puzzled as Kordick left the class, only to come back quickly, remembering it was unnecesary to copy music himself. Warrior band preforms three times as much as some other highschool bands, and this saved class time is truely important. OPS ought to find another way.
