Introduced in the House

Introduced by Rep. Sherry Gay-Dagnogo (D-8)

To give public school math, science or special education teachers an $1,800 annual bonus for choosing to work at a school where at least 50 percent of the children come from households with income low enough to make them eligible for a federal free or reduced-price school lunch program. This would not apply if an existing teachers union contract prohibits it. This is part of a Democratic teacher incentives package comprised of House Bills 5465 to 5484.
