AN ACT CONCERNING STIPENDS FOR STUDENT TEACHERS.

Summary

The bill establishes a state‑funded STIPEND program that pays each student teacher $1,000 for every week of their student‑teaching placement in a public school. Teacher‑preparation programs receive the money and pass it to the student teachers, who must return a pro‑rated amount for any weeks not completed. The Department of Education will track graduates for three years and can recoup at least half of the stipend if a recipient does not work as a certified public‑school teacher for two years after graduation.
