➡️ Preparing and Retaining All (PARA) Educators Act
Congress members Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Ann Kuster (D-NH) introduced the bipartisan Preparing and Retaining All (PARA) Educators Act. This legislation authorizes grants to states to support the recruitment and retention of paraprofessionals.
Paraeducators include teachers’ aids, instructional assistants, and other in-class support who work with a variety of students, including those with Autism. Although paraeducators play an important role in our classrooms, they continue to be underpaid and undervalued in our education system. This legislation would help keep paraeducators in the classroom and ensure they have the support they need to thrive.
Contact your member of Congress and let them know the benefits of paras for you and your child. Don’t know your member? Find it here by entering your zip code: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
