Phase-Out of Teacher Recruitment Education and Preparation Program

Type Bill
Session 2026 Regular Session
Subjects
Education & School Finance (Pre & K-12)

Concerning phasing out the teacher recruitment education and preparation program, and, in connection therewith, making and reducing an appropriation.

Bill Summary:

      Joint Budget Committee. The bill repeals the teacher recruitment education and preparation program (TREP) after the 2026-27 budget year. Because TREP is a 2-year program, the bill prohibits the department of education from designating any new qualified students for the TREP program beginning in the 2026-27 budget year.

     For the 2026-27 budget year, the bill caps the amount that a district receives for a student participating in TREP under the school finance formulas at $7,104.

(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
