MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Governor Tony Evers announces $1 million to go towards teacher training and recruitment.
Three non-profits will receive funding through the Teacher Training and Recruitment grant program, which the governor says will support efforts to train and recruit teachers where shortages are most prevalent in the state. The grants cover two years of program costs to recruit, train, and license teachers.
Funding is going to help place teachers in the Madison and Milwaukee areas, along with Wisconsin’s low-income, urban school districts.
The governor’s office estimates the funding will provide training for more than 230 teachers.
