1855-AA15 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1855 Office of Innovation and Improvement OII 1800 Department of Education ED Innovation for Teacher Quality

Under the Troops-to-Teachers program, the Secretary of Education transfers funds to the Department of Defense for the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) to provide assistance, including a stipend of up to $5,000, to an eligible member of the Armed Forces so that he or she can obtain certification or licensing as an elementary school teacher, secondary school teacher, or vocational/technical teacher and become a highly qualified teacher by demonstrating competency in each of the subjects he or she teaches. In addition, the program helps the individual find employment in a high-need local educational agency or public charter school. The Department will rescind its regulations relating to this program. We are taking this deregulatory action because this program has been transferred to the Department of Defense.
