Are public entities expected to offer the 20 hours of staff development that is required for instructional paraprofessionals and personal care assistants?
The intent is for the public entity which employs the paraprofessionals to be responsible for providing the 20 hours of staff development on an annual basis; because the training must be “related to the assignment,” the employing agency is best suited to ensure the training will be relevant to the assignment.
