documented benefits (2)

Pension	Florida Retirement System membership is compulsory, not optional, for employees of a district school board — support staff included — from the date of employment, provided the job is a regularly established position (one expected to last beyond six consecutive months). Regular Class members can take the FRS Pension Plan (defined benefit) or the Investment Plan. FRS does not replace Social Security in Florida.
No experience needed	Honest negative: Miami-Dade paraprofessional roles are NOT an open door on a diploma alone. A high school diploma or equivalent is the first requirement, but since 8 January 2002 new hires must also hold an associate's degree or have completed 60 college semester hours, plus the Florida DCF 40-hour Child Care Course within 90 days for Pre-K posts. Part-time custodian posts are the lower-bar entry route the district advertises most.
