Bill > HB3379

This bill amends the School Code by adding a new section that instructs the State Board of Education to utilize available state and federal programs, grants, and subsidies to help fund student teacher expenses as appropriate funding becomes available. While the bill text appears to be incomplete or partially redacted in the provided XML, the government summary suggests the legislation aims to create a mechanism for supporting student teachers financially through existing funding streams. The bill recognizes the importance of supporting teacher training by establishing a framework for potentially using various funding sources to assist student teachers, who are typically unpaid or minimally compensated teaching apprentices completing their practical training requirements before becoming fully licensed educators.
