| KS | Signed into law 04/2005 | P-12 | HB 2331 amends statutes governing the National Board Certification program. Under current law, teachers attaining National
Board Certification receive an annual salary bonus from the state of $1,000 for the ten years of the certification period. The bill removes the ten-year limit to allow the salary bonus to be provided for those teachers who are re-certified for an additional ten years. In addition, teachers participating in the standards program prior to initial certification currently receive a scholarship to assist with the costs of the program. The bill codifies this scholarship at $1,100 and also provides for a $500 scholarship to assist with the costs of the re-certification program. The bill amends the statutes governing the Teacher Service Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to students who are planning to teach in a hard-to-fill discipline or underserved geographic area. Under current law, a hard-to fill discipline is defined as one in which there is a critical shortage of teachers as determined by the Board of Education. HB 2331 specifically adds math and science instruction for grades five through 12 to the definition.
