HCS Hosting Information Session About Teacher Education Initiative For Students Tonight

Hardin County Schools will be hosting an information session tonight for those interested in the recently announced district teacher education initiative for students. “We will be having an information session at 6:00 PM at John Hardin High School to talk about our tuition assistance program for students who enter post-secondary teacher education programs in college. We announced an initiative last month that Hardin County Schools will pay up to $350 per credit hour to pay for their teacher education classes at any post-secondary education institution in Kentucky. This is our way of trying to combat the teacher shortage in our school,” stated spokesperson John Wright. Students who participate in this initiative will be contractually obligated to return to Hardin County Schools as a teacher for three years. Interested students are asked to attend with at least one parent or guardian and no RSVP is required.
