The bill allows the Commissioner of the Office of Higher Education to award grants to programs that have previously received funding. It also appropriates $1 million in each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025 for the grant program, and requires grant recipients to submit a report on their ability to fill teacher shortages and impact student achievement by January 2026.
