Summary
The PARA Educators Act directs the Secretary of Education to establish a federal grant program allocating funds to states to support recruitment and retention of paraprofessionals in public elementary schools, secondary schools, and preschool programs. States would distribute subgrants competitively to local educational agencies and educational service agencies, with priority given to entities serving low-income students or rural areas. Eligible uses of funds include induction and mentoring programs, professional development, credentials and certifications, and wage increases or bonus incentives for paraprofessionals. States must report annually on paraprofessional pay baselines, employment numbers, and professional development activities.
