What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a teacher pledge loan repayment program to be administered

by the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System. Under the program,

individuals may apply to have the board repay their educational loans. “

Educational

loan” is defined in the bill to mean an education loan obtained by an individual from

a public or private lending institution for education to cover the cost of attendance

of any semester in which the individual is enrolled in a UW System institution

teacher education program. To be eligible to participate in the loan repayment

program, an individual must do all of the following: 1) obtain a teacher license from

the Department of Public Instruction within one year of successful completion of a

teacher education program at a UW System institution; 2) hold at least a 75 percent

teaching position in a public elementary or secondary school in this state; and 3)

agree to hold at least a 75 percent teaching position in a public elementary or

secondary school in this state for five of the seven years following the individual's

completion of the teacher education program. The board may repay 25 percent of an

eligible participant's educational loan principal and interest after each full academic

year in which the individual held a 75 percent or greater teaching position in a public

elementary or secondary school in this state.
