Oklahoma’s State Superintendent Ryan Walters has launched a new teacher bonus program to attract highly qualified math and science educators to the state. The program offers signing bonuses for eligible teachers who did not teach in an Oklahoma public school during the 2023-2024 school year. In-state certified secondary math or science teachers can receive a $15,000 signing bonus, while out-of-state certified secondary math or science teachers are eligible for a $25,000 signing bonus.
Walters is thrilled about the opportunity to bring top talent to Oklahoma classrooms and highlighted the many benefits of living and working in the state. The program aims to make it easier for teachers to come to Oklahoma and have a significant impact on young students. To be eligible for the program, teachers must meet specific criteria, such as holding an alternative or standard certification in secondary math or science and being hired to teach during the 2024-2025 school year in a rural Oklahoma public school.
This initiative is part of an ongoing effort by Walters and other education leaders in Oklahoma to strengthen the state’s education system and attract talented educators. Teachers interested in taking advantage of the bonus program can learn more about eligibility requirements and application process on the official website. For those looking to stay informed about local news and updates, signing up for a daily newsletter can provide easy access to important information.
