Paraprofessional Advisory Council Bill Passes Legislature

The Paraprofessional Advisory Committee was created in 2007 to identify and provide more appropriate, effective and meaningful professional development to Connecticut’s 13,400+ instructional paraprofessionals. It gave a much-needed voice to paraprofessionals in their quest to be respected and heard.
 
Over time, the State Department of Education has added agency staff, consultants, teachers, principals and other non-paraprofessionals to the Paraprofessional Advisory Committee.
 
Today, only 20% of the Paraprofessional Advisory Committee’s membership consists of paraprofessionals.  Once again, the voices of paraprofessionals have been silenced.

The bill goes on to Governor Malloy for his signature.
