by Jane

Feb 22, 2017

Perhaps someone out there can help me on this: school media centers have historically been a line item in the GA State budgets..but this year, in the newly released 2017 budget, I'm not seeing anything for media centers.

Estimate Air Time cost

by John

Apr 23, 2016

Would anyone be willing to share their Airtime buyout cost with me privately in an email? I am nearing 25 years in 8 months and I really want to get an idea of the cost but I can't find out until 25. I know it depends on salary, age etc. I am 50 years old. I rather not post salary publicly.

KVW So, these are two different things:

1) An "immediate" forgiveness is available for teachers at high risk schools or highly certified in high need areas (special education, math, etc). There is a one time payout of $5,000 on your loans for high risk teachers (5 years at title one) and there is a 17,500 for the high need areas. ...See More
