Rural Recruitment Initiative
CERRA was charged with the responsibility to develop and administer an incentive program to recruit and retain classroom teachers in rural and underserved districts that have experienced excessive turnover of teachers.
For FY22, districts eligible to participate are defined as those experiencing greater than eleven percent average annual teacher turnover, as reported on the district’s five most recent State Report Cards and who are not one of the fifteen wealthiest districts, based on the index of taxpaying ability.
Incentives include financial assistance for current employees seeking to become certified, salary supplements for critical needs teachers, and salary supplements and professional development for beginning teacher mentors.
For more information, contact Dr. Jenna Hallman at hallmanj@cerra.org.
