Pennsylvania's student teachers would be eligible to receive a $10,000 stipend to complete their 12-week classroom requirements under a bipartisan proposal aimed at combatting the state's ongoing teacher shortage. The bill, introduced by Sen. Vincent Hughes and Sen. Ryan Aument, would give $5,000 stipends to student teachers who complete their requirements in schools with high teacher vacancies or those that typically do not host student teachers.

Lawmakers want a change after years of crowded Republican primary races, which means Pennsylvania voters could start seeing runoffs to determine candidates for a general election.

(The Center Square) – Legislators believe a $10,000 stipend may encourage student teachers to stay in Pennsylvania long term.

The Pennsylvania governor’s office says state grants totaling almost $488,000 will generate millions of private investments from a company with a historic Lancaster County brand name.

The ink is barely dry on the PA municipal primary and new pieces of legislation are being proposed in both chambers of the General Assembly to change them for the future.
