School employee health insurance provided, minimum starting salary for nonlicensed school personnel increased, paraprofessional paid orientation and professional development provided, and money appropriated.
Introduction and first reading, referred to Education Finance
Summary
The measure requires Minnesota schools to provide health insurance for employees, lifts the minimum starting salary for non‑licensed school personnel, and obligates schools to give at least 16 hours of paid orientation or professional development each year to paraprofessionals and other instructional support staff. It also creates a reimbursement system for districts to cover the cost of that training. The changes aim to improve employee benefits, attract qualified support staff, and ensure consistent, high‑quality training for those who work directly with students.
