Introduced
by
To establish a state low-interest teacher-school tuition loan program for employees of school districts with teacher shortages. Up to $16,000 in tuition loans over four years would be available to a teacher in training, and 20 percent of the loan would be forgiven for each year a recipient who has graduated and received a state teacher certificate teaches in a district with a teacher shortage. The money would come from a new fund to be created in the Department of Treasury, but the source for the money is not specified by the bill.
