Summary
The Pay Paraprofessionals and Support Staff Act authorizes $25 billion in federal grants for fiscal year 2026 (adjusted annually for inflation) to help states and school districts raise the minimum salaries and wages of paraprofessionals and education support staff. States receiving grants must establish minimum annual salaries of at least $45,000 for full-time staff and minimum hourly wages of at least $30 per hour for part-time staff (with both indexed to inflation after 2030), and must meet these requirements within four years. The bill requires states to submit applications with timelines and annual goals for wage increases, prioritizing funding to school districts serving high percentages of low-income students.
