Bill overview
The RETAIN Act aims to address the shortage of teachers and school leaders in early childhood, elementary, and secondary education by creating a refundable tax credit. This credit rewards educators who remain in high-need positions for multiple school years, particularly those serving disadvantaged students. The bill establishes eligibility criteria for various roles, including early childhood educators, teachers, and school leaders, and provides for an increasing credit amount based on years of continuous service. It also mandates data collection on teacher salaries to better understand compensation trends and supports efforts to ensure equitable funding for schools.
