This preservice training should be provided before paraprofessional enters the classroom. Once a paraprofessional is on the job, an inservice program is established that will lead to certification. Training should be provided by the district during the workday or at a regularly scheduled inservice day, not after school or on weekends. Current employees are grandfathered-in.
New employees have two years to meet requirements for certification.
