Urges President and Congress of United States to enact student loan forgiveness program for teachers in military-impacted communities.
This New Jersey joint resolution urges the U.S. President and Congress to enact a federal student loan forgiveness program for teachers working in schools serving military-impacted communities. It specifically requests that teachers employed for five consecutive years in such schools receive up to $17,500 in federal student loan cancellation. A military-impacted community is defined as one where at least 20% of students have a parent on active duty. The resolution aims to help recruit and retain teachers who support military-connected students facing school transitions due to parental relocations.
