I just re-read and I think I know what you mean. Why would they want a bachelors for an aide/tech position when PTA don't even have that much schooling? Yeah, that is kind of strange. They don't use PTAs though, so that could be why. They pay their aides about midway between what other places in the area pay aides and PTAs, so it's kind of a compromise it seems.
