The Invest in Rural Teachers Act provides grants to states for signing and retention bonuses for teachers in rural schools.
The Invest in Rural Teachers Act amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to establish a grant program for signing and retention bonuses for teachers in rural schools. States receiving grants must award subgrants to eligible entities, which include local educational agencies and educational service agencies serving such local educational agencies. These entities use the funds to pay signing and retention bonuses to teachers who commit to teaching in rural schools for three school years. The bonuses amount to $5,000 annually.
