Introduced in the House

March 1, 2007

Introduced by Rep. Glenn Steil (R-72)

To establish a state program to give certain teachers in "at risk" public or non-public schools (ones with half or more students from lower income families) a grant each year equal to 10 percent of their student loan debt. If the teacher stayed in an at risk school for 10 years, he or she would have all his debt paid by the state.
