Which component is primarily described in the board's annual report?

Boards that regulate paraprofessionals report on the status of the paraprofessional program, including applications and complaints. This is the primary focus because the board’s role is to oversee the credentialing, registration, and discipline of paraprofessionals, so its annual report centers on how the program is functioning—how many applications are received, processed, approved, and any complaints or disciplinary actions taken. The other items don’t fit as the main subject of the board’s annual report. The budget for the state judiciary belongs to court or state budgeting documents, not the paraprofessional oversight report. The roster of licensed attorneys is typically maintained by the state bar or licensing authority, not the paraprofessional board. The average time to disposition of cases is more a court performance metric than a focus of a board that oversees the paraprofessional program.
