I work for a school district in Santa Clara, Ca (Silicon Valley) I work as an instructional aide in a class room doing Special Education. I have a half sleeve on my left arm done during Christmas break no problems with the school or parents of the kids, in fact the kids love it. I did'n have it when I started and I am not union.
