Fairbury Public Schools would like to incentivize student teachers to select Fairbury Public Schools for their student teaching experience. We believe we have the best staff to guide, mentor and help develop future educators. We hope that our $9,000.00 student teaching stipend will assist you with your living expenses while you complete your student teaching. In addition, we hope your experience will lead you to make Fairbury your first opportunity for employment as an educator.

The parameters for the upcoming 2024-25 School Year as follows:

• We will award up to 3 Stipends. One (1) for the fall semester and two (2) for the spring semester. If there is not a placement in the fall, then that stipend will be available for the spring semester as well.

• If we have three (3) or fewer student teacher placements, all will receive the stipend, regardless of subject area.

• If we have more than one (1) student teacher in the fall or two (2) in the spring, the stipends will be awarded based on our priority of subject areas below:

• Special Education

• Science

• Early Childhood

Our proximity to Lincoln also provides a unique opportunity to enjoy, both rural life and urban experiences. Our rural community of approximately 4,000 residents and bustling businesses provide great community partners for our district. We look forward to assisting you in your journey to become a Nebraska Educator!
