Are Texas lawmakers addressing the issue of uncertified teachers in public schools? A recent bill proposes that uncertified teachers be restricted from teaching core subjects, with deadlines set for certification by fall 2026 for K-5 math and reading, and fall 2027 for other academic classes. To support this transition, the bill offers financial incentives, including a one-time $10,000 payment for in-school training participants and $3,000 for those pursuing traditional or alternative certification programs.
