callers in Iowa. Vernon Williams, R-Wichita, told the Legislative Educational Planning Committee yesterday that if steps were not taken soon to attract
students into the the teaching profession, Kansas schools were going to be in serious trouble.
Williams' proposed legislation would provide forgivable loans for students enrolled in teacher education programs. The loans would cover tuition costs and fees for no more than six semesters.
Students would not have to repay the loan if they received a teaching
certificate and teach in Kansas for seven years. The loan would be reduced by one-seventh for each school year a person taught.
Students who received the loan and failed to graduate, left the state or decided not to teach would have to repay the loan.
