HB 2850 establishes a financial incentive program for public school teachers to encourage them to teach dual credit courses. The program provides tuition assistance to teachers seeking a master’s degree, which is required to instruct dual credit courses. Teachers who accept tuition assistance must commit to teaching dual credit courses in public schools for five years. If a participant fails to meet this requirement, they must reimburse the state unless granted a one-year grace period for hardship reasons. The program is funded through legislative appropriations and may also accept private donations and grants​.
