MODERATE

This bill was reengrossed with significant changes to its scope and funding structure. The original bill included appropriations for both a teacher retention program and a teacher support program, but the second engrossment removes the teacher retention program funding entirely. The bill now focuses solely on providing legislative management study and funding for a teacher support program for new teachers.
