Abstract: In the first phase of this study (see ED 040 133), data revealed that lunchroom aides constituted the largest category of paraprofessionals in both paid and voluntary respects. Inasmuch as the lunchroom aide was found to be the most common paraprofessional, the decision was made to study this type of paraprofessional in depth. Questionnaires were sent to principals, all lunchroom aides, and 25 percent of the teachers in 150 randomly selected schools qualified for inclusion in the study based on the use of three or more lunchroom aides working in the building. The response rate constituted 89.3 percent of the total requested. Survey results are provided in tables and texts under the headings (1) profile of lunchroom aides, (2) working environment of the lunchroom aide, (3) participants' perceptions of lunchroom aides job, (4) lunchroom aide employment procedures and policies, and (5) lunchroom aides' perceived and preferred roles.
