SB 279 was heard in the Education and Cultural Resources Committee today. The bill would provide signing bonuses to 300 teachers, especially in rural areas and who are primarily “Montana Graduates.”
According to Helena CBS affiliate, KXLH, 65% of the bonuses must be allocated to new teachers in rural areas and 35% to new teachers in urban areas with difficulties recruiting teachers.
Former GOP gubernatorial candidate and State Senator Roy Brown is sponsoring the bill.
