What You Need to Know to Comply with HB 2

Deadlines & Certification Requirements

  • House Bill 2 phases out uncertified teaching by 2030 and eliminates DOI waivers. Districts must certify all K–5 teachers and core-subject instructors in English Language Arts and Math to remain compliant.
  • Intern certificates must be issued by Fall 2026 for K–5 teachers and Fall 2027 for ELA and Math instructors. Districts that miss deadlines face parent-notification requirements and risk losing top talent.

State Incentives Overview

  • $1,000 state bonus per Standard Teaching License issued by the end of the 2026–27 school year
  • $2,000 rural school supplement (Section 48.157)
  • Stipends for mentors, cooperating teachers, and field placements
  • Urgent: Funds expire if certification deadlines aren’t met—start now to secure every dollar
