What’s in it

This bill provides that for the school year beginning July 1, 2021, a certified para-educator with a substitute authorization may substitute in any classroom in grades pre-kindergarten through 12, except a driver’s education classroom. The bill requires a school district to make a good-faith effort to employ a substitute teacher who is not a para-educator before employing a para-educator for a position pursuant to the bill. The bill requires a school district employing a para-educator as a substitute pursuant to the bill to compensate the person at the same rate as would be provided to a substitute teacher who is not a para-educator for the same work. The bill authorizes the board of educational examiners to adopt emergency rules to implement the bill. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
