MINOR
The bill title was changed to clarify its purpose regarding early childhood assistant teacher requirements.

Added explicit requirement that early childhood assistant teachers, aides, paraprofessionals, or interventionists assigned to kindergarten or first grade classrooms must be full-time to satisfy certain requirements.
