It's also possible to partially redeem a paper Savings Bond (you get some cash and a smaller Savings Bond with the same issue date) but it's a special and rare transaction that may be difficult to accomplish.

If I convert to paperless in a Treasury Direct Account, can I redeem only part of an EE bond to meet the educational needs to avoid creating a taxable event such as may happen if all the bond is redeemed?

It's the same government that's promising to pay you back in each case. If we get to point where the government stops honoring the FDIC insurance on your bank account, your T-Bills aren't going to be worth anything either.
