Bill > S1567

This bill, the Retaining Educators Takes Added Investment Now (RETAIN) Act, aims to create a refundable tax credit for early childhood educators, teachers, early childhood education program directors, school leaders, and school-based mental health services providers in early childhood, elementary, and secondary education settings. The credit is designed to reward retention based on the time spent serving high-need students. The bill also requires the development and publication of a data series that captures the average base salaries of teachers in public schools and early childhood educators, disaggregated by various factors.
