Bill overview
The RAISE Act of 2025 aims to support and incentivize educators by establishing a refundable federal tax credit for eligible teachers and increasing the existing tax deduction for classroom and professional development expenses. Specifically, teachers could receive up to $1,000 in tax credits, with an additional amount based on their school’s student poverty ratio, and the deduction for classroom expenses would be increased. The bill also provides additional funding to local educational agencies to support teacher salaries and professional development programs, particularly those focused on attracting and retaining educators.
