  • The General Education Teacher to Special Education Teacher (GETSET) program provides funding to certified general education teachers who want to pursue a career change to become certified in an area of special education.
  • The Special Education Teacher Tuition Assistance (SETTA) program provides funding for tuition assistance to paraprofessionals that leads to special education teaching certification.

Certifications that satisfy the application requirements:

  1. Mild/ Moderate Disabilities
  2. Moderate/Severe Disabilities
  3. Early Childhood Special Education
  4. Hearing Impaired

Application materials are linked below. LEAs have an opportunity to submit an application for one candidate per program.  Applications earning the highest scores in the evaluation process will be approved until the funding that is set aside for the program is depleted. Applications must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 3, 2020.
