(Helena – Keller Sherman) Applications are open for the Teacher Incentive Program, better known as the TEACH Act, through December 1, 2024. Districts must submit separate applications for each school, or legal entity, applying for the program.
“Montana is ranked amongst the lowest starting salaries for teacher pay in the country,” said Superintendent Elsie Arntzen. “The Teacher Incentive Program helps Montana schools become more competitive when recruiting teachers in the first three years of their careers. More must be done to heal the divide between teacher pay and administrator pay, including lowering the cost of licenses for our hard-working teachers.”
There will be a virtual training session for districts on October 8th at 10am on Zoom. For more information on how to join this training or to apply for the program, contact the individuals listed below.
