Program Enhancements and Other Budget Adjustments
Science and Math Teacher Initiative

To help address California's critical shortage of highly trained teachers in the subjects of science and math, the Governor's Budget proposes an increase of $2 million for a total of $2.7 million for the CSU to support the third year of the Science and Math Teacher Initiative. This funding will enable the CSU to establish three regional science and math teacher recruitment centers and continue to expand its campus programs in order to double the number of science and math teachers trained annually. When combined with the $1.1 million that is continued in the UC budget, this initiative proposes a total of $3.8 million for 2007-08. The Budget also proposes an increase of 600 education loan assumption warrants in the CSAC budget to provide incentives for promising students to enter the teaching field in these critical shortage areas.
