(The Center Square) – Service members, veterans and their spouses can receive a taxpayer-funded bonus to work in Ohio schools for at least a year.
The state recently announced the Military Recruit Award, which allows schools to offer a $3,000 hiring bonus to students who join the educational workforce in public school districts, community schools, independent STEM schools and joint vocational school districts.
“In Ohio, we are proud to support members of the military and their families,” Gov. Mike DeWine said. “This program is not only a win for our service members but also for our students. What they will gain from these heroes goes beyond textbooks. They will have a front row seat to learn about important life values like duty, integrity, respect, and courage. I look forward to seeing the positive benefits our Military Recruit Award will bring to entire communities.”
The state will reimburse districts for the bonus, along with 1.45% for Medicare and 14% for the State Teachers Retirement System or School Employees Retirement System.
