Overview
The Teacher Recruitment Education and Preparation (TREP) program was created by SB 21-185. The TREP program creates the opportunity for qualified students in a teaching career pathway to concurrently enroll in postsecondary courses for the two years after the 12th grade year.
Program specifics are still under development. More information will be shared as it becomes available. We are all eager for this program to begin and benefit students, so we appreciate your patience as work begins to put all the pieces in place.
