Summary
The bill sets a federal baseline of $45,000 per year for full‑time paraprofessionals and $30 per hour for part‑time support staff, indexed to inflation after 2030. States must adopt these minimums and can receive federal grants—starting with $25 billion in FY2026—to fund the higher wages. The goal is to ensure school aides and other support personnel earn a living wage and have safe, respected working conditions.
