I am interested to find out if the state department of education in Arizona has designed a paraprofessional assessment. If so, where could I locate additional information?

I am a new resident of Arizona. I previously lived and worked as a paraprofessional in Indiana, with special ed, learning disabilities. There was talk there about a test, but no one knew anything about it. Now I am in Arizona would like to go to work in a school and can't find any one to tell me any information. If anyone can tell me where to look or go I would greatly appreciate it.
