AI Summary
This bill aims to increase prototypical school staffing to better meet student needs. It amends existing laws to increase staffing allocations for paraprofessionals in instructional roles, such as teaching assistants, to provide more individualized support for student learning and behavioral needs. The bill also makes changes to the formula used to distribute basic education funding, including adjusting the minimum staffing levels for various school personnel like principals, counselors, and classified staff providing student and staff safety. The bill is intended to take effect in September 2024, but will be null and void if specific funding is not provided in the omnibus appropriations act by June 30, 2024.
