Student Loan Relief for Teachers in Military-Impacted Communities

This act modifies existing laws to make it easier for teachers in schools with a high percentage of military-dependent students to qualify for federal student loan forgiveness. The goal is to support education in these communities and encourage teachers to work there. Teachers will be able to meet the 5-year teaching requirement more flexibly, even if they relocate due to a spouse's military service.
Key points
Expands eligibility for federal student loan forgiveness to teachers in schools where at least 20% of students are military dependents.
Allows teachers married to service members who relocate due to military orders to fulfill the 5-year teaching requirement across multiple schools in different military-impacted communities.
Defines "military impacted community" for schools, clarifying which institutions qualify for the program.
