AI Summary

This bill establishes a four-year "VETeach Pilot Program" in the Department of Education to facilitate the teacher certification of veterans in order to address the shortage of certified public school teachers and the high rate of unemployment among returning veterans. The program will allow up to four selected four-year public institutions of higher education to enroll a single cohort of veterans who served on or after September 11, 2001, in a 36-month teacher preparation program leading to a baccalaureate degree and a certificate of eligibility with advanced standing to teach in grades kindergarten through eight and certain secondary education fields. The bill also requires the Commissioner of Education to report on the program's outcomes and the advisability of establishing similar programs on a permanent basis.
