Bill > HB0163

This bill amends the Grow Your Own Educator Pipeline Program by expanding eligibility for scholarships to include licensed teachers who are pursuing a special education endorsement, meaning they are seeking to gain the necessary qualifications to teach students with disabilities. The program, which provides funding to local education agencies (LEAs) to award scholarships, aims to help individuals become licensed teachers, school counselors, school psychologists, or school social workers. The bill also clarifies the definition of a "special education teacher" and sets an effective date for these changes.
