The Statesville Record and Landmark is reporting that Iredell-Statesville Schools Superintendent Jeff James presented a plan Monday night at the Committee of the Whole meeting to provide tuition reimbursement to up to 40 people looking for lateral entry into the teaching profession. James, who worked in the textile industry for over 20 years before making a lateral move into teaching, told the board that the school system has set aside a budget for the program.
