District Proficiency and Instructional Assistance Assessment - November, 2026

Los Angeles Unified School District

7d

About The Position

The Los Angeles Unified School District offers the District Proficiency and Instructional Assistance Test to individuals seeking to meet Every Student Succeeds Act requirements for employment as a paraprofessional (such as Teacher Assistant, Instructional Assistant, or Library Aide), qualify for employment as a Vocational Instructor with LAUSD, or satisfy the high school educational requirement for classified (non-teaching) job opportunities.

Applications are accepted November 1, 2026, through November 30, 2026. Applicants will receive emailed instructions to schedule a testing appointment. A $7 fee is charged for each test administration and collected on the appointment day; payment instructions are included in the test invitation. Active LAUSD employees with an employment offer from a school administrator are exempt from the fee, except individuals being hired as vocational instructors. Candidates who do not pass must wait 30 days before scheduling a retake, and the fee applies to each test administration.

Applicants must present current official photo identification at their testing appointment. Acceptable identification includes a current driver license, state-issued identification card, or passport. Selection is through a competitive assessment process. Candidates who pass all assessment components are ranked on a hiring eligibility list by assessment score; hiring departments may make offers to candidates in the top three ranks. Eligibility typically lasts 12 months, and the resulting list may be used for openings in related job classifications.

The District states that qualified persons shall have equal employment and promotion opportunities and that reasonable accommodations for application completion and testing are available to individuals with disabilities.
