In a strong bipartisan vote, the Senate today approved a
comprehensive para-educator development program. SB 5070 passed on a 37-12 vote
and will require standards, professional development, a career ladder, a more
accessible path to teacher certification, and training for teachers who
supervise para-educators. Support for Standards for Para-educators is a Top 5
Priority Platform issue for Washington State PTA, so we’re excited to see the
Senate take this important step forward.
