MCPASD’s New Educator Induction event at Kromrey Middle School this week included 17 paraeducators.
“Paraeducators play a vital role in supporting both students and staff in our educational settings,” said MCPASD Director of Special Education Cindy Malcheski.
Throughout the District, 183 paraeducators support students in the classroom.
“Paraeducators serve as essential bridges that help create more personalized, inclusive, and effective learning environments,” Malcheski said. “They are an integral part of our school communities. They are amazing!”
At the New Educator Induction event, paraeducators were introduced to MCPASD and had an opportunity to meet colleagues ahead of the school year. Malcheski and Becky Poehls, special education coordinator at Middleton High School, held a breakout session with paraeducators to discuss the important roles they play in supporting students and teachers.
MCPASD is hiring more paraeducators for the 2025-2026 school year. Positions are available in both regular education and for students with disabilities; pay ranges from $20.85 to $22.75 per hour. Learn more and apply on MCPASD’s Employee Services website.
