Recommendation to the full committee; Do Pass Appropriations and Budget Education Subcommittee
Summary
The bill establishes a state‑funded $5,000 yearly bonus for teachers who achieve National Board certification, payable for up to ten years, and provides up to $1,800 per teacher to cover certification costs for up to 100 teachers each fiscal year. It also adds mentoring, extra leave days, and a recognition program, while preventing bonus recipients from receiving the separate salary increment for the same certification. The measures aim to attract and retain highly qualified teachers, especially in high‑need schools.
