This bill creates the "Matching Grants for Teachers Plan" and a subsequent fund in the State Treasury. The purpose of the plan will be to provide a grant match of up to $1 million for any school district that uses the district's reserves to increase teacher salaries. The bill provides guidance to districts to prevent district reserves from being exhausted and sets forth criteria that must be met in order to qualify for the grant.
This bill is similar to HCS HB 1810 (2024).
