NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. Nearly 40 percent of school district employees dont spend any time in the classroom. Support staff includes cafeteria workers, bus drivers, technical specialists, paraprofessionals and administrative employees. Obviously, we weren't transporting children to school anymore, said Nassau County bus driver Kim Good. We had spring break, and then we didn't come back.That abrupt end was difficult for support staff in Nassau County, according to Marian Phillips, president of the Nassau County Educational Support Personnel Association. The state has not done its due diligence in fully funding public education, Phillips said.
