“House Bill 1220 would provide stipends to student teachers, who currently have to work for free while still paying tuition, and would provide alternative ways to prove mastery of teacher training requirements.”

Meltzer explores the additional benefits and support this would give to aspiring teachers to fulfill their dreams.
