Texas signs $8.5 billion education bill to fix teacher shortages and certification crisis in schools

Texas is tackling its teacher crisis with House Bill 2, an $8.5 billion investment in education. The bill overhauls teacher training and certification, aiming to raise salaries and mandate full certification for core subject teachers by 2027-28. It also limits the hiring of uncertified teachers and supports residency programs to improve teacher preparation and retention, especially in rural districts.
