Bill > S3881

This bill, the Teachers LEAD Act of 2022, would direct the Secretary of Education to award grants to eligible entities (local educational agencies, educational service agencies, or partnerships with certain organizations) to establish teacher leadership programs. The key provisions of the bill include: defining key terms like "distributed leadership" and "teacher leader"; establishing the grant program, application requirements, and priority for high-need and high-turnover schools; specifying how grant funds can be used; requiring reporting and evaluation of the program's impact on teacher retention; and authorizing $400 million in annual funding for the program over 5 years.
