Paraprofessional Requirements / Para Pro

Paraprofessional Requirements / Para Pro

Highly Qualified Paraprofessionals

Katy ISD has over 70 campuses with hundreds of paraprofessionals serving those students. All paraprofessionals are required to have some college hours, a high school diploma or a GED. The paraprofessionals at non-Title I campuses only require this qualification. Several of our campuses are designated as Title I and require an additional qualification. 

The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act requires that paraprofessionals also meet one of the following qualifications if the paraprofessional will perform instructional duties in a Title I, Part A program:

  • Have completed 48 semester hours of college coursework; or
  • Have obtained an associate's (or higher) degree; or
  • Have met a rigorous standard of quality and can demonstrate, through a formal state or local academic assessment:
    • Knowledge of, and the ability to assist in instructing, reading, writing and mathematics; or
    • Knowledge of, and the ability to assist in instructing, reading readiness, writing readiness and mathematics readiness, as appropriate.

​If you have not completed 48 college hours or earned an associate degree or higher, and you want to apply at a Title I campus, you will need to take the ParaPro Assessment.
