VANCOUVER, Wash. The holiday break for students is wrapping up and they’re getting ready to start winter term. In Vancouver, school support staff are also getting ready to head back after being furloughed in the fall.
Ruth Ingebrand is an instructional paraeducator at Mcloughlin Middle School in the Vancouver School District.
She and many other paraeducators help support students and certified teachers. In the spring, when the pandemic first hit, she was busy helping kids.
