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 Association of Illinois School Library Educators <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div>I am NOT an expert in any way regarding loan forgiveness, but I was recently looking at this website for my son-in-law who is considering a career change:<div><br></div><div><a href="https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/charts" target="_blank">https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/<wbr>repay-loans/forgiveness-<wbr>cancellation/charts</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>For librarians under the Federal Perkins Loan Chart: (This is a graphic and may not display in everyone's email but you can use the above link to find it after scrolling past the Direct Loan and FFEL Program loan forgiveness information.)</div><div>
