Abstract

State Representative Maura Hirschauer, serving the constituents of State House District 49, is committed to enhancing education, bolstering local organizations, and advocating for sensible gun control measures within her community. Our office diligently assists constituents in connecting with federal agencies, collaborates with local organizations, participates in community events, and spearheads legislative initiatives aimed at ameliorating the state. As an intern, my primary focus revolves around constituent services, encompassing tasks such as responding to constituent inquiries, liaising with businesses, and facilitating community engagement. Moreover, I've been entrusted with conducting legislative research, specifically exploring avenues to support student teachers. This research revolves around proposing legislation that would enable student teachers to receive compensation for assuming substitute teaching roles, thereby addressing the substitute teacher shortage while simultaneously aiding student teachers, who often lack stipends and struggle to balance work and coursework during their teaching placements.
