Bill > A10265

This bill mandates that starting with the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and for each year thereafter, New York City must provide an "excess differential offset" to individuals employed as paraprofessionals by the board of education. An "excess differential offset" is a payment calculated based on the difference between current and historical salary differentials between principals and paraprofessionals, adjusted by the number of school days a paraprofessional worked in a given year. The bill defines "base differential" and "current differential" as the difference between the highest salary for principals and the minimum salary for paraprofessionals at specific points in time, and "excess differential" as a calculation involving these differentials and historical salary averages. Importantly, this offset is explicitly stated not to be considered salary or wages, nor a term or condition of employment under civil service law.
