The Future Educators Support Act aims to enhance financial support for student teachers and address staffing needs within Ohio's education system. The bill introduces several new sections to the Revised Code, including provisions for an annual online staffing survey to be conducted by the Department of Education and Workforce. This survey will collect data on various educational positions, including vacancies and the qualifications of individuals filling these roles. The department is also tasked with producing an annual report based on the survey findings, which will be shared with the General Assembly and published online.

Additionally, the bill allows for financial assistance to student teachers, including cost-of-living stipends and test fee waivers based on financial need. Public school districts are permitted to pay student teachers a wage that meets specific legal standards or to offer them health care benefits equivalent to those provided to regular teachers. Furthermore, state institutions of higher education may waive tuition for student teachers during their required teaching period. Lastly, the bill mandates that the list of in-demand jobs be updated to include teaching positions, reflecting the critical need for educators in the state.
