How do you know if a paraeducator is a Title I paraeducator?
Many programs that receive Title I funds use part of their allocation to hire paraeducators. There is no difference in pay, just in the source of funds. If you are not sure whether or not a paraeducator is being paid through Title I funds, the paraeducator’s school principal should be able to tell you. If this is the case then the paraprofessional will have to meet all the requirements in the new law.
