What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the Higher Educational Aids Board administers a minority teacher loan program which provides a maximum of $30,000 in loans to eligible minority students. The loans may be repaid to HEAB, or may be forgiven if the eligible recipient satisfies certain conditions, including that the recipient hold a full-time teaching position in an elementary or secondary school in this state in which minority students constitute at least 40 percent of the membership and that the recipient receive certain effectiveness ratings in his or her teaching work.

This bill requires HEAB to provide notice of the minority teacher loan program to all incoming freshmen and transfer students at all institutions of higher education in this state that have a state superintendent of public instruction-approved teacher preparatory program. The bill also requires HEAB to provide an annual report to the education-related standing committees of the legislature regarding the minority teacher loan program's participation levels, loan disbursements, and aggregate details related to the status of all open and closed loan recipient accounts.

The bill also requires each public high school, including each charter school that operates grade 11 or 12, to provide notice of the minority teacher loan program to each pupil in grades 11 and 12.
