Statehouse — Indiana lawmakers are considering a bill that would provide scholarships to Hoosiers transitioning into teaching from other careers.
House Bill 1528 unanimously passed the House and is now being considered by a Senate committee.
Indiana’s online education job board showed more than 1,400 open teaching positions as of Wednesday.
School officials say they’ve seen more Hoosiers leaving the profession and fewer people coming in.
The bill would provide scholarships of up to $10,000 for Hoosiers who enroll in transition-to-teaching certification programs.
