This is common sense! We have to find ways to get math, science, special ed, and career and technical teachers. Incentives will help. Why would a registered nurse making $75,000 become a teacher making less than $40,000 a year. I applaud KDE and KY BOE for discussing this issue!
Incentivizing teachers for great teaching and teaching in areas where we have too few applicants (CTE, secondary math and science, SpEd, high poverty schls) is common sense if whatโs best for students is truly our priority.
