As an early career ed policy researcher, PLEASE randomly distribute the funds
Dispatch from PA Department of Education budget hearing: Referencing the overwhelming demand and "insufficient" supply in $ for student-teacher stipends, Acting Ed Secretary Carrie Rowe says "we created something akin to a student teacher stipend Hunger Games."
