NEWARK TO GUARANTEE STUDENTS $50K TEACHING JOBS
Under a new program announced by Roger Leon, the superintendent of Newark Public Schools, any East Side High School student who completes the high school's Teacher Education Academy (opening in 2020) and graduates from Montclair State University with a teaching degree will be guaranteed a full-time job as a substitute teacher. "You do everything that you're supposed to, this school district (will) hand you $50,000,” he said. The district is planning to open other academies to boost college enrollment rates.
