I am so excited about this new bill that will help increase pay for paraprofessionals and support staff in the United States! It's about time that these hardworking individuals get the recognition and compensation they deserve for the important work they do in our schools and communities. This bill will not only benefit them, but it will also have a positive impact on the quality of education and support services provided to students. I fully support this bill and can't wait to see the positive changes it will bring.
