A special education teacher needs to remove an underperforming paraprofessional from their classroom but faces administrative resistance due to the para's relationship with leadership.

No structured, policy-aligned process or tool exists to document performance issues, track interventions, and escalate removal requests objectively, bypassing personal bias or relationships with administrators.

App Concept

ParaPerformance Tracker

A web-based platform that allows special education teachers to document paraprofessional performance issues (e.g., refusal to supervise, insubordination) against district policies, automate escalation workflows, and generate compliance-ready reports. It ensures removal requests are data-driven and protected against discrimination claims, neutralizing administrative favoritism.

Key Features

Incident logging with timestamps and severity levels aligned to district conduct codes
Automated notification chain to direct admin, HR, and union reps
Documentation templates for progressive discipline and performance improvement plans
Anonymous reporting option for multiple witnesses

Target Users: Special education teachers in K-12 public schools (particularly self-contained classroom teachers) who need to manage paraprofessional staffing issues

Revenue Model: $15/mo per teacher subscription, with $200/site annual license for district-wide deployment
