Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to provide additional amounts of loan forgiveness to teachers of English learners and teachers of bilingual and dual language immersion students, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
The SPELL Act would change federal student loan rules to forgive more debt for teachers who work with English learners and bilingual students. English learners are students still learning to speak English fluently. The bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965, which governs federal student aid. It would provide additional loan forgiveness beyond what currently exists for teachers in these specialty areas. The bill is currently introduced, meaning it has been formally submitted to Congress but not yet assigned to a for review.
