Hi Lorraine i am afraid this happens everywhere. there is very little you can do about it. It happened to me and when I complained to SENO i was told that once the funds for SNA's are allocated to the school it is up to the principal of the school to employ and designate duties to the SNA. In my case I had to take my son out of that school, he was only 5 at the time. ↑
