HB 1263 Teaching Scholarship Loan Program.
Introduced by: Thomas W. Moss, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Virginia Teaching Scholarship Loan Program. Revises the provisions of the Virginia Teaching Scholarship Loan Program (i) to allow support through gifts, donations, grants, bequests, and other funds that may be obtained by the Department of Education; (ii) to clarify that the program consists of scholarships to support four components, i.e., critical teacher shortage disciplines, high-poverty areas, paraprofessional development, and incentives to promote the pursuing of teaching careers by at-risk students; and (iii) to expand eligibility to part-time students and freshmen and sophomores. This bill also designates the present trust fund to cover the umbrella program (the Virginia Teaching Scholarship Loan Program) instead of solely for the Diversity in Teaching Program; requires Diversity in Teaching Program funds to be accounted for separately within the fund and distributed solely for scholarships awarded pursuant to the Diversity in Teaching Program; and provides for a tax deduction, beginning on and after January 1, 2001, for the total amount an individual actually contributed in funds to the Virginia Teaching Scholarship Loan Fund. The Board of Education is required to promulgate emergency regulations, regardless of whether additional funds are appropriated for this program.
