Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

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 local school districts increase compensation for paraprofessionals and education support staff. States receiving grants must establish minimum salary requirements ($45,000 annually for full-time staff starting in 2026) and minimum wage requirements ($30 per hour for part-time staff starting in 2026), with increases indexed to inflation or 2 percent annually, whichever is greater. States must develop timelines to ensure all local educational agencies meet these compensation standards within four years, with priority given to districts serving high percentages of low-income students.
