WSPA members are invited to: WASA’s “Finding Your Voice” webinar is a two-part presentation on advocacy.

The US Department of Education has asked for our help in spreading the word about the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) limited waiver to educators, school personnel, administrators, professors and other employees at all education levels. This relief can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who work tirelessly every day to educate and care for our nation’s students. AASPA has put together a collection of resources for you to use in assisting your employees who may now have an opportunity to apply for student loan forgiveness. Help us spread the news. Go to: https://www.aaspa.org/loan-forgiveness-resources to download the FSLF Waiver Toolkit for Educators.

As always, thank you for everything you do.  You are appreciated!  I hope your school year is off to a great start!  I know that some of you are in labor disputes and it is my hope they get resolved soon and if I can be of any help, let me know.  Good Luck!
