This is an Agreement Amendment from the Arizona Department of Education's Procurement Section, involving PLC Charter Schools as the Contractor. The document pertains to the Arizona Teacher Registered Apprenticeship Program (AZTRAP), which is funded by the Maricopa County Workforce Development Board with $1,500,000 to provide a structured pathway for aspiring educators. The amendment is effective July 01, 2025, and falls under the Educator Recruitment and Retention program.

The scope of work details a comprehensive apprenticeship program where journey workers (experienced teachers) mentor apprentices, providing on-the-job learning in areas such as classroom experience, curriculum, instruction, and professional development. The contractor (PLC Charter Schools) is responsible for tracking journey worker eligibility, providing mentorship, reporting monthly invoices, and paying eligible journey workers. The apprentices will receive support services including dependent care, transportation, disability accommodations, and work-related materials. The program aims to support apprentices through a competitive wage scale, onboarding, training opportunities, and systematic progress tracking, with the Arizona Department of Education providing technical assistance, access to learning management systems, and funding based on eligibility determinations.
