SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Waivers of tuition for certain education personnel. Provides for the waiver of tuition and fees at four-year public institutions of higher education for Virginia residents who (i) are enrolled as full-time or part-time undergraduate students in an approved teacher education degree program in a public four-year institution of higher education in Virginia; (ii) are employed by a local school board as education paraprofessionals for the semester for which the waiver is sought; (iii) have completed at least two years of full-time employment as education paraprofessionals with a local school board in Virginia; (iv) maintain the required grade point average; and (v) meet the financial need requirements established by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. The State Council, in consultation with the Board of Education, is to establish regulations governing these waivers. The regulations are to include provisions addressing education paraprofessional positions for which waivers may be obtained; financial need; verification of employment as an education paraprofessional; the grade point average required to retain such waiver; and procedures for the repayment of tuition and fees for failure to meet the waiver eligibility requirements.
