According to the Fed Ed Dept, we teacher-librarians are NOT teachers. We cannot utilize the Teacher Forgiveness Loan. However, we are lumped in with other civil servants and are eligible for that program--maybe Public Service Loan Forgiveness. In the first one you get your loan forgiven after 5 years. In the second it is after 10 years. I was signed up to pay back over 10 years, so I am not able to take advantage of either. In fact, Fed Ed keeps sending me emails that I should change my repayment plan so that I can advantage of the forgiveness. Why would I do that? I will be repaid this year anyway. What really made me mad about it was that even though I had paperwork from my district stating that I teach literacy skills to 700 students every week, they said I was not a "teacher" and sent a print out of my district web page that says that I am the librarian. Needless to say, I am not a fan of the Fed Ed Dept for this and many other reasons!</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 17, 2018 at 8:33 AM, Email list for the
