No.  The educators deduction is for those who are educators such as teachers.  Support staff not involved in the actual education process do not qualify.

 

You're an eligible educator if, for the tax year you're a kindergarten through grade 12 teacher, instructor, counselor, principal or aide for at least 900 hours a school year in a school that provides elementary or secondary education as determined under state law.
