    How would a $15,000 tax credit for teachers affect educator recruitment and retention differently across high-income versus low-income school districts?

  2. 02

    What funding mechanisms would support this tax credit, and how might federal budget priorities shift to accommodate the program's cost?

  3. 03

    Should this incentive target all educators equally, or should the credit amount vary based on school location, subject area, or student demographics?
