PHILADELPHIA ~ Governor Josh Shapiro visited the George Washington Carver High School of Engineering and Science in Philadelphia to share his vision for rebuilding Pennsylvania's teacher workforce. The Governor's budget proposes a refundable tax credit of up to $2,500 every year for up to three years for anyone who earns a new license or certification in education, nursing, or law enforcement, or for anyone who already has a license in those fields and decides to move to Pennsylvania for work.

The Governor met with Carver teachers to hear firsthand how educator shortages impact their classrooms. Superintendent Dr. Tony Watlington expressed his gratitude for the Governor's support in the budget, including the proposed tax credit for teachers.

The Governor's budget includes an increase of $567.4 million, or 7.8 percent, for basic education funding, as well as targeted support to help students learn and grow. This includes $38.5 million for universal free breakfast for all Pennsylvania students regardless of income, $500 million over the next 5 years to reduce and remediate environmental hazards in schools, and $500 million over the next five years so that schools can fund mental health counselors and services on site.

The shortage of educators across the Commonwealth is a major challenge that needs addressing. Governor Shapiro's plan is designed to encourage new teachers to join the profession and ease the burden on existing teachers by providing them with a personal income tax credit of up to $2,500 a year for three years. This investment of $24.7 million in job retention and recruitment efforts will help put more qualified teachers into our classrooms and create real opportunity for our children by ensuring they have access to quality education.
