Ensures paraprofessionals and education support staff are paid a living wage.
The Pay Paraprofessionals and Support Staff Act aims to ensure that paraprofessionals and education support staff are paid a living wage. The bill provides grants to states to ensure local educational agencies can pay these staff members a minimum salary or wage, which increases with experience. The act also mandates that states set a timeline to meet these wage requirements within four years of receiving a grant. Funds are to be used for salary increases and may also support professional development and certifications for these staff members.
