Thank you @SenMarkey ! AFSCME represents hundreds of paraprofessionals across Northern New England who would benefit from this legislation to help school districts recruit, train, and retain these vital public service workers!
From teaching assistants to special education aides, paraprofessionals help students thrive. But when limited professional development and low pay burn out these educators, classrooms suffer. The PARA Educators Act will give these workers the pay and support they deserve.View quoted post on X
