Summary

The bill directs the U.S. Secretary of Education to award grants to states, which can then give subgrants to local school districts or education service agencies to pay signing and retention bonuses to teachers who agree to teach in rural schools for three years. Each teacher would receive $5,000 each year of the commitment, and the program gives priority to teachers who are native to the community. It also calls for partnerships with teacher‑training colleges and sets aside $500 million per year from FY 2027 through FY 2030.
