STIPENDS FOR MENTOR CLASSROOM TEACHERS 


2025-2026 Mentoring Update:

Mentoring continues to be a licensure requirement for initial license upgrade.  However, it is not required that systems enter mentors for stipend reimbursement requests this year.  The legislature did not provide funding for the Mentor Stipend program for the 2025-2026 school year.
