AI Summary

  • Creates a new payment called "excess differential offset" for paraprofessionals and substitute paraprofessionals employed by the New York City Board of Education, effective for fiscal years beginning July 1, 2025

  • Calculates the offset by measuring how much the salary gap between the highest-paid principals and lowest-paid paraprofessionals has grown compared to the gap from 20 years prior

  • Determines individual payments by dividing the excess differential by 185 school days and multiplying by the number of days the paraprofessional worked that year

  • Specifies that these offset payments are not considered salary, wages, or terms and conditions of employment under Civil Service Law, keeping them separate from collective bargaining

Legislative Description

Provides that for each fiscal year commencing on or after July 1, 2025, the city of New York shall provide an excess differential offset to each person who was employed by the board of education as a paraprofessional for all or part of such year.
