The purpose of the Preparing And Retaining All (PARA) Educators Act is to establish a grant program that helps schools recruit and keep paraprofessionals, who are essential support staff in public elementary, secondary, and preschool education. The goal is to improve educational outcomes by ensuring that schools have enough qualified paraprofessionals to assist teachers and students. Key provisions of the Act include the allocation of funds to state educational agencies, which will then distribute grants to local educational agencies and other eligible entities.
