SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Rural Teacher Retention Act of 
2007''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) More than 8,000,000 children, representing 21 percent 
        of all public school children in the United States, attend 
        public schools in rural areas.
            (2) There are 24,123 public schools in rural areas of the 
        United States, representing 31 percent of all public schools.
            (3) More than 400,000 educators, or 31 percent of all 
        public school teachers, teach in rural schools.
            (4) Rural school teachers earn approximately 14 percent 
        less than their counterparts in other regions.
            (5) Despite lower salaries, rural school teachers typically 
        teach multiple subjects and perform their jobs with fewer 
        resources than their counterparts in other regions.
            (6) One of the most critical challenges facing rural school 
        districts is in attracting and retaining qualified teachers.
            (7) Rural school districts tend to have higher teacher 
        turnover rates than school districts in other regions.
            (8) High teacher turnover has a negative impact on student 
        performance, school district performance, and the ability of 
        teachers to become highly qualified.

SEC. 6. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATION.

    There are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this Act

answer:

Rural Teacher Retention Act of 2007 - Directs the Secretary of Education to establish a five-year pilot program awarding competitive grants to no more than 10 states to enable them to award salary bonuses to highly qualified teachers or highly qualified special education teachers who teach, or commit to teach, for at least three academic years, in an elementary or secondary school served by the same rural local educational agency (LEA), including one that serves a high number or percentage of children who are Native Hawaiian.

Awards such grants on the basis of the needs of a state's rural LEAs for recruiting and retaining such teachers. Requires that, in determining such needs, the Secretary consider: (1) a rural LEA's eligibility for assistance under part B (Rural Education Initiative) of title IV of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965; (2) a rural LEA's service of low-income, limited English proficient, migrant, Indian, or disabled students; and (3) the state's long-term plans for recruiting and retaining such teachers in its rural LEAs.

Requires the Secretary to track and assess the implementation and effectiveness of each project funded under this Act..
