On September 5, 2019, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer announced his efforts to boost the number of qualified teachers in the Rochester-Finger Lakes Region and across the state with a two-pronged plan. First, Schumer called on Congress to reject the administration’s proposed elimination of the Title II Supporting Effective Instruction State grant program in the Fiscal Year 2020 federal budget, which provides funding for school districts to use for teacher recruitment and retention. Second, he urged Congress to expediently consider and pass the What You Can Do For Your Country Act, which would fortify the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF), incentivizing young professionals and college graduates to enter the teaching profession by forgiving their student loan debt in return for serving as a public school teacher.
