Explanation

(This amendment adds $500,000 GF the second year to maintain grants at the FY 2019 level for teacher residency partnerships between university teacher preparation programs and the Petersburg, Norfolk, and Richmond City school divisions and any other university teacher preparation programs and hard-to-staff school divisions to help improve new teacher training and retention for hard-to-staff schools. The grants will support a site-specific residency model program for preparation, planning, development, and implementation including possible stipends in the program to attract qualified candidates and mentors.)
