Bill > LB1121

This bill amends the Nebraska Teacher Recruitment and Retention Act to authorize additional grants. Specifically, it creates a new "keeping-teachers-teaching" grant of $1,500 for teachers who complete their sixth year of full-time employment at a Nebraska school and sign a new contract to continue teaching. The bill also makes some minor changes to the existing retention grants provided under the Act, such as adding the word "and" between the grant types. The bill declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
