Teacher Aide Age Restrictions
 

22VAC40-665-220. General qualifications

I object to the proposed regulation that teacher aides under the age of 18 be supervised at all times.  This age demographic is crucial in staffing to relieve fulltime teachers.  They bring high energy and enthusiasm to the classroom and allowing them to work in the school promotes the younger age demographic to explore future careers in childcare.
