Some important highlights of this settlement:
✅ Borrowers whose applications for #PSLF were denied will now be reconsidered
✅ Automatic review of applications denied prior to November 2020 for borrowers with at least 10 years of repayment on a direct loan
✅ Borrowers now informed how many payments remain before they qualify for forgiveness, how they can find out which payments are qualifying, & whom to contact to receive guidance about how to obtain loan forgiveness.

This afternoon President @rweingarten is joining the @TaubmanCenter's School Choice in the Post-Pandemic Era conference. 🧵
Since the beginning of August, I have visited scores of public schools in 20 states and territories, 40-50 schools in 30 different localities. @rweingarten
And I'm saying that because from Petaluma to Puerto Rico, the joy students and staff feel to be back in school, in-person, is palpable. @rweingarten

Last week, we lost @EdinburghAFT member Rosa Pacheco to Covid after 35 years on the job. Today, we visited her students @SanCarlosElms to honor her, and all the lives lost during the pandemic.

With the help of @FirstBook we donated 250 books, backpacks, and masks to her school.
As part of #Back2School, we visited @PSJA_LBJ_MS where we donated another 250 books. Students are so excited to be in the classroom and it shows! Thank you to @drjlarredondo and all of the @PSJAISD community for welcoming us with open arms.
#Back2School continues with a visit to @fieldsfalcons with @drgonzalez8 and @mstrdla of @McAllenISD. 60% of students at Fields are Bilingual and 94% are economically disadvantaged.
