,,ii #aafth ,,congress #b;d ,session ,s4 #diag ,,in ,,the ,,senate ,,of ,,the ,,united ,,states ,november #ah1 #bjbj,mr4 ,booker introduced the following bill2 which was read twice and referred to the ,committee on ,health1 ,education1 ,labor1 and ,pensions ,a ,,bill ,to amend the ,,cares ,act to support ,states and local educational agencies in responding to the ,,covid-#ai pandemic so that all students1 especially historically underserved students1 are provided with a safe1 healthy1 equitable1 and excellent education4 #a4 ,short title ,this ,act may be cited as the ,educator ,jobs ,fund ,act of #bjbj4 #b4 ,purpose ,the purpose of this ,act is to support ,states and local educational agencies in responding to the ,,covid-#ai pandemic so that all students1 especially historically underserved students1 are provided with a safe1 healthy1 equitable1 and excellent education by-- 7#a7 providing funding to ensure students do not lose access to high-quality educators due to ,state and local budget cuts2 7#b7 investing in educator pipelines to ensure students' access to a well-prepared and diverse educator workforce is not affected by the ,,covid-#ai pandemic2 7#c7 putting in place fiscal equity measures so students of color1 students from families experiencing low incomes1 and other historically underserved students do not bare the budgetary brunt of the ,,covid-#ai pandemic2 and 7#d7 ensuring that schools are equipped with the personal protective equipment necessary to keep students1 teachers1 principals1 other support staff1 and families safe4 #c4 ,findings ,congress finds the following3 7#a7 ,prior to the ,,covid-#ai pandemic1 the ,united ,states was already experiencing a shortage of more than #ajj1jjj qualified teachers4 ,likewise1 prior to the pandemic1 public employment in elementary schools and secondary schools had yet to recover the level it had reached prior to the losses of the ,great ,recession4 7#b7 ,according to the ,economic ,policy ,institute1 more ,k-#ab public education jobs were lost in ,april than in all of the ,great ,recession--a loss of #dfh1hjj jobs in public school employment alone4 ,half of these losses were among special education teachers1 tutors1 and teaching assistants4 ,losses were also significant among counselors1 nurses1 custodians1 and other building maintenance staff4 7#c7 ,an analysis from the ,learning ,policy ,institute found that if there is a #bj-percent reduction in ,state contributions to education funding1 this could result in the loss of nearly #dfj1jjj teaching positions nationwide1 or over #ab percent of the public school teaching workforce4 ,this is a more significant downsizing than witnessed during the ,great ,recession1 when significant ,federal investment of about #aaj1jjj1jjj1jjj1 including an ,educator ,job ,fund1 helped save #bhh1jjj and #acd1jjj education jobs at different points in time4 7#d7 ,teachers of color face unique barriers to entering and staying in the profession4 ,for example1 teachers of color are more likely to enter teaching through less comprehensive pathways due to the high cost of traditional teacher preparation programs and the debt burden faced by college students of color4 ,lower quality pathways can result in less effective teaching and high turnover rates4 ,research shows that candidates who receive comprehensive preparation are #b to #c times more likely to stay in teaching than those who receive little training4 ,in many cases1 however1 teachers of color are more likely to begin teaching without having completed comprehensive preparation and enter instead through routes that include minimal or no student teaching or integration of key coursework1 leaving teachers to learn on the job4 7#e7 ,before the ,,covid-#ai pandemic1 enrollments in teacher preparation programs had been on a steady decline for years1 dropping #ci percent for undergraduate and post-baccalaureate programs between #bjaj and #bjag--resulting in over #bgg1jjj fewer professionals working their way toward the classroom4 ,the economic impact of ,,covid-#ai threatens to put the ability to afford high-quality teacher preparation further out of reach for prospective teacher of color who already faced higher affordability barriers prior to the pandemic than their white counterparts4 ,similarly1 institutions of higher education--including under resourced ,historically ,black ,colleges and ,universities 7,h,b,c,us7 and ,minority ,serving ,institutions 7,m,s,is7 of higher education--are under fiscal strain4 ,both phenomena threaten to further hinder students--especially historically underserved students--access to a well-prepared and diverse educator workforce4 7#f7 ,historically ,black ,colleges and ,universities 7,h,b,c,us7 and ,minority ,serving ,institutions 7,m,s,is7 of higher education have an outsized role in preparing teachers of color4 ,for example1 despite the fact that only #ad4b percent of all public school teachers earned their bachelor's degrees from ,m,s,is1 nearly #dj percent of all ,black teachers in the ,nation earned their bachelor's degree at an ,,msi4 ,nearly half of all ,latino teachers with bachelor's degrees earned them at ,m,s,is4 ,further1 roughly #be percent of ,asian ,americans and ,native ,americans with ,b,as in teaching earned them at ,m,s,is1 while almost a third of ,pacific ,islanders with ,b,as earned their degrees at an ,,msi4 7#g7 ,teacher residency programs like those supported by the ,teacher ,quality ,partnership ,grant ,program1 are a high-quality and diverse teacher preparation pathway into teaching4 ,nationally1 about #di percent of residents are people of color4 ,that is the similar to the proportion of public school students of color and far more than the #bj percent of teachers who are people of color nationally4 7#h7 ,furthermore1 prior to the ,,covid-#ai pandemic1 principal turnover was also a significant issue4 ,research from the ,learning ,policy ,institute and ,national ,association of ,secondary ,school ,principals found that #ce percent of principals leave their schools within #b years and that approximately #ah percent of principals were no longer in the same position one year later4 ,in underserved schools and areas1 this turnover rate was even higher at #ba percent4 ,additionally1 a recent poll of principals found that #de percent are planning to move up their plans to leave the profession due to the conditions spawned by the ,,covid-#ai pandemic4 7#i7 ,reducing principal turnover also has a significant impact on student performance and teacher retention4 ,principals are the second most important school-level factor associated with student achievement4 ,studies have also show that teachers cite principal support as one of the most important in their decision to remain in a school or the profession4 7#aj7 ,without sufficient ,federal support to ,states1 local educational agencies1 and teacher and principal preparation programs at institutions of higher education1 educator layoffs and shortages will be exacerbated by the economic crisis caused by the ,,covid-#ai pandemic and historically underserved students1 including students of color and students from families experiencing low incomes1 will bear the brunt of these layoffs and shortages4 7#aa7 ,data consistently show the disproportionate impact of ,,covid-#ai on people of color and communities of concentrated poverty4 ,further1 decades of data show that students of color1 students from low-income families1 and ,english language learners1 as well as those with special needs1 who are experiencing homelessness1 who are in foster care1 who are involved with the juvenile justice system1 and whose families are engaged in seasonal work1 have long been underserved by the current education system4 7#ab7 ,federal relief aid should be contingent on ,states and local educational agencies protecting students most heavily impacted by ,,covid-#ai and students historically underserved in education in the ,united ,states from having to bear the brunt of shortfalls in school funding and other impacts of the virus on schools4 7#ac7 ,countries that have physically reopened schools successfully--and only once infection rates were under control--have provided schools with the resources necessary1 such as personal protective equipment1 to continue education and keep children and staff safe4 #d4 ,educator job fund 7a7 ,in general 7#a7 ,authorization ,the ,secretary shall award grants to ,states1 to
