HB523

Enact the Future Educators Support Act

Chamber Passed·6/3/26

Ohio HB523 provides financial support and benefits for student teachers in Ohio.

Ohio HB523, known as the Future Educators Support Act, mandates that the state board of education and the department of education and workforce provide financial support to student teachers. This includes a cost-of-living stipend, a waiver of general or instructional fees, and test fee reimbursements based on financial need. Additionally, public school districts may offer student teachers a wage rate not less than the wage rate for teachers and health care benefits on the same terms as teachers. The act also requires the inclusion of teaching jobs on the list of in-demand jobs in Ohio.
