When a school district or other public entity uses different terminology and job titles than those described in the regulations, do the regulations apply to those different names and titles?
Districts, staff and other public entities should not rely on their own specific titles, but compare what the individual does in the position to the definitions of instructional paraprofessional and personal care assistant, as outlined in Section 14.105. Individuals whose job descriptions match those definitions must satisfy the requirements.
