The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations, and shall consist of all monies received by the State Regents from state appropriations provided for the purpose of implementing the provisions of subsection B of this section. All monies accruing to the credit of the fund are hereby appropriated and may be budgeted and expended by the State Regents for the purpose provided for in this subsection.

Beginning with students entering a teacher education program accredited by the Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability in the 2026-2027 academic year, completion of training required by this paragraph shall lead to a micro-credential in mathematics, which shall be reflected on teaching certificates awarded to such individuals; and 2. Support teacher education programs accredited by the Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability in developing and implementing a micro-credential in mathematics for certified teachers employed by school districts and charter schools in this state.
