Gary Rubinstein has the answer here.
Which state pays $20,000 for each recruit TFA sends to work in its schools after a five-week training course?
Can you guess?
How much does your state pay TFA to send young teachers who agree to stay for two years?

Obscene, But thanks for the information.
Now there needs to be big-time questioning of every politician that signed off on this absurdity, in every state, and an accurate accounting of TFA’s funding from billionaires. The State of Ohio should not be paying for the education of TFAs and recruiting them. Payola must be involved to get this legislation passed.
bingo!
Two thousand dollars so that a few pimply kids can replace real teachers for a couple years and do great grates with poor children and have something with which to pad their resumes before going off to their real jobs in investment banking. Teaching is a real profession, folks. If such people were hired as classroom assistants, that’s another story. But five weeks of training in the summertime is not sufficient.
cx: before going off to their real jobs in investment banking or as an EduPundit or bureaucrat in an astroturf shill and shell operation funded by Ed Deformers and masquerading as a vehicle for the aspirations of parents and students
“Yesterday I reported that Texas pays TFA $5.5 million a year for 400 new recruits. I speculated that TFA probably has similar arrangements in other states. Today I learned that the latest Ohio House Bill 166 budget allocates $2 million a year for TFA. A bargain? Not quite. While Texas gets 400 new TFA corps members a year, Ohio only gets 103 new corps members a year. This works out to about $20,000 per corps member.”
Oh, that’s sad. But it’s typical of ed reform in Ohio. They will invest any amount of money on any program or plan ed reform churns out. ANY.
I don’t think there’s a state that has suffered as much under ed reform, with the possible exception of Michigan. There is good news, though. I think both states are stepping back a bit and doing some more of their own thinking. It hasn’t been as dramatic as a state-wide teachers strike like in some states, but it’s clear that the bloom is off the ed reform rose in both Ohio and Michigan. I think the peak was probably 2010. Some sanity has returned.
$2 mil. for 103 TFA recruits – top winner- Ohio. Will Sherrod Brown do anything about the info. or, will he do the same thing his Republican colleague, Rob Portman does…nothing.
Does the Fordham sponsored school in Ohio have TFA’ ers?
What’s TFA turnover in Ohio?
Also, who in Ohio or anywhere can answer that question. You can be that some legislators and TFA officials do not want an answer.
It would be interesting to know the # of TFA alums in Ohio’s Dept of Ed or other positions affecting ed policy. 6 yrs ago Tony Bennett bragged that “TFA alums hold top posts in state education policy” [https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/controversial-teaching-program-may-come-ohio/yEZkBJmwLB4qRMzGJtZ6YN/] And TFA has a DC-based PAC called Leadership for Educational Equity that supports Teach for America alumni running for public office.
So far, I have found a $5K/TFA corps member in Shelby County schools (Memphis, TN). But the data is from 2013
Shelby County’s merged school board voted 5-2 to keep its contract with Teach For America at last night’s board meeting, despite concerns about the program’s recruitment fee.
The district will pay $1.9 million to Teach For America, or TFA, over the next two years to place a cohort of up to 125 teachers. That represents a $5,000 per teacher, per year fee to the organization, which goes to TFA, not to individual teachers recruited.

So the situation closer to the present (2016) is that Shelby County Schools pays $5K/year for each TFA recruit if the teachers stays in Memphis. This means more like $10K per TFA teacher.

I think a contract also stipulates that SCS MUST hire a certain number of TFA teachers each year.
Here is the contract. Ridiculous.It really mandates hiring every TFA “graduate”.
