What You Need To Know About Borrowing For Your Educationnoblex1
You spent a lot of time researching which college you wanted to attend and which program of study you wanted to pursue. Part of choosing where you will go to school depends on what type of financial aid package the school can offer you. In most cases, you will have to take out a loan of some sort, usually federal and more frequently private alternative loans. You realize that the time you spend deciding where to go to school and what to study is part of an investment in your future. Unfortunately, a lot of times, you're not taught about the impact that borrowing to pay for education can have on your future as well.
The following information is intended as counseling material designed to help you understand what you need to know about borrowing for your education.
Awareness Is The First Step
By the time you've been approved for a loan, you are so happy to know you'll be able to attend the school of your dreams that the last thing on your mind is what impact repaying this loan will have on your future. Understanding the basics about your loan can help. You should know the amounts of all education loans, the interest rates and fees associated with taking out these loans, repayment options, as well as deferment and forbearance eligibility and consolidation procedures.
Communication With The Loan Holder Is Vital
You should always be aware of who is holding your loan. Before the loan goes into repayment, a guaranty agency, secondary market or the lender may be holding the loan. In most cases, a loan servicer is the holder of the loan. The loan servicer should be contacted in the case of a name or address change, billing statement or repayment questions, and to request deferment or forbearance. Keeping in touch with the loan servicer can prevent future problems with late payments or default, which may affect your credit report.
Late Payments
Not making a loan payment on time can result in a late charge penalty. Late charges are added to the principal and interest owed. When students fall very far behind on their payments, a collection agency or attorney may be obtained to collect the money owed. Students will have to pay any charges associated with collection activity.
Forbearance
If the borrower is unable to make regular principal and interest payments, the lender may accept interest-only payments or the student may be able to defer payments with a capitalized interest forbearance. The student should always contact their servicer to find out about forbearance on all their loans. A forbearance may be granted at the lender's discretion, but only in accordance with the guidelines. The student should contact the lender or the designated servicer immediately if they would like to obtain forbearance.

This document discusses several key issues related to student absenteeism and truancy in schools:
1) Truancy is a major problem facing many schools, with some cities reporting absenteeism rates as high as 50% on a given day. Truant students are more likely to experience unemployment, crime, and incarceration later in life.
2) Truancy is often a symptom of deeper issues, as truant students typically come from low-socioeconomic families with less cohesive home environments and inconsistent parenting.
3) Studies have found that truant students perceive school and their academic abilities less favorably, and are less socially competent than regular attendees. Family problems contributing to truancy
The document discusses paying for a child's college education after divorce. It notes that legally, parents are not obligated to pay anything after high school graduation. However, the author believes parents should contribute if possible. The only way to ensure a former spouse pays is by including it in the property settlement agreement signed at divorce, as that document is legally binding.
This document outlines 10 steps for applying for financial aid in Rhode Island:
1. Calculate direct costs such as tuition, fees, room and board.
2. Add up any grants and scholarships (gift aid) received from each school. Subtract this gift aid from direct costs to determine how much needs to be paid directly.
3. Add up indirect costs like travel, books, and living expenses. Determine if any aid like work-study can help offset these costs.
It then provides guidance on determining resources, borrowing needs, estimated post-graduation salary, and having discussions with students on affordability.
This PowerPoint presentation summarizes Spotsylvania County Schools' policy on maintaining confidentiality of student and employee information. It outlines legal requirements including FERPA and HIPAA, defines key terms, and reviews who has authorized access to different types of records. The presentation emphasizes that all school employees and volunteers are responsible for safeguarding private information and should only disclose it to others with a legitimate educational interest. Violations can result in disciplinary action, loss of funding, and legal liability.
FERPA, or the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, protects the privacy of student education records and provides parents and eligible students rights to inspect, review, and seek amendment of those records. It also outlines rules regarding the release and disclosure of directory information like names, addresses, and honors without consent. Schools must annually notify parents and students of their FERPA rights and may use social security numbers to identify records if not prohibited by state law.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Massachusetts Mandated Ethics Training:
Summary of the Conflict of Interest Law
2013-2014
Concord Public Schools
Concord-Carlisle Regional School District
2. What is the Conflict of Interest Law?
The Conflict of Interest law seeks to prevent conflicts
between private interests and public duties, foster
integrity in public service, and promote the public’s
trust and confidence in that service by placing
restrictions on what municipal employees may do on
the job, after hours, and after leaving public service.
3. Who has to complete the online training?
Every state, county, and municipal employee must
complete the online training program prepared by
the Commission.
Do I have to do this if I am a volunteer?
Anyone performing services for a city or town or holding a
municipal position, whether paid or unpaid, including full-
and part-time municipal employees, elected officials,
volunteers, and consultants, is a municipal employee
under the conflict of interest law.
4. On the Job Restrictions:
Bribes
Bribes: Asking for and taking bribes is prohibited.
A bribe is anything of value corruptly received by a
municipal employee in exchange for the employee being
influenced in his/her official actions. Giving, offering,
receiving, or asking for a bribe is illegal.
Bribes are more serious than illegal gifts because they
involve corrupt intent.
Bribes of any value are illegal.
5. On the Job Restrictions:
Gifts & Gratuities
Gifts and gratuities: Asking for or accepting a gift
because of your official position, or because of
something you can do or have done in your official
position, is prohibited.
Municipal employees may not accept gifts and
gratuities valued at $50 or more.
Meals, entertainment event tickets, golf, gift baskets, and
payment of travel expenses can all be illegal gifts if given
in connection with official action or position, as can
anything worth $50 or more.
A number of smaller gifts together worth $50 or more may
also violate these sections.
6. On the Job Restrictions:
Gifts & Gratuities (cont.)
In general, a public employee may not accept any gift worth $50 or
more that is given because of the position he or she holds. Public
employees may accept gifts that are worth less than $50, but they
have to disclose in writing that they have done so if, based on the
specific circumstances, a reasonable person would think that the
public employee might unduly show favor to the giver or the giver’s
child, or be influenced by the giver.
The law prohibits gifts to public employees, not gifts to public
agencies. You may give gifts to a public school, or a particular
classroom, and the $50 limit does not apply. Your school district may
have its own additional rules about gifts, which you should follow.
Example: A Parent-Teacher Organization wants to give $75 gift
cards to teachers to buy classroom supplies. The teachers may
accept the gift cards but must use them to buy classroom supplies,
and should keep receipts to show that they did so. Supplies bought
with the gift cards are the property of the school, not the teachers.
7. On the Job Restrictions:
New Exemption
Class Gift(s): The Ethics Commission recently created an exemption
to permit class gifts to teachers. A teacher may accept a gift, or
several gifts during the school year, from public school students
and/or their parents and guardians, with an aggregated value of up to
$150, if the gift is identified only as being from the class, and the
identity of the givers and the individual amounts given are not
identified to the recipient.
Gifts received pursuant to this exemption are not required to be disclosed.
The donor is unknown, so a reasonable person would not conclude that
the gift would influence the teacher’s conduct with regard to any individual
or would cause the teacher to favor any individual.
Example: A teacher has a class with 23 students. Parents of 20 of the
students collect money and give the teacher a $150 gift certificate to a
book store, indicating that it is a class gift. The teacher may accept the
$150 class gift certificate and no disclosure is required. The teacher may
not knowingly accept any additional gift from any of the parents who
participated in the class gift.
8. On the Job Restrictions:
New Exemption (cont.)
Individual Gift(s): A teacher may accept a class gift and also individual gifts
from persons who did not contribute to the class gift. Unlike class gifts,
which are not required to be disclosed, individual gifts must be disclosed if,
based on the specific circumstances, a reasonable person might think that
the teacher’s actions would be influenced by the gift.
Example: A child who did not participate in the class gift gives a plate of
homemade cookies to the teacher. The teacher may accept the cookies, and no
disclosure is required, because a reasonable person would not think that the
teacher would be influenced by a gift that has no retail value. Similarly, a teacher
would not be required to disclose acceptance of other homemade food items,
hand-picked (not purchased) bouquets of flowers, and handmade gifts, candy, or
other gift items worth less than $10, because a reasonable person would not think
that the teacher might unduly show favor to the giver of such gifts or the giver’s
child, or be influenced by the giver.
Example: Parents of a child who did not contribute to a class gift and whose child
is awaiting a college recommendation gives the teacher who is writing the
recommendation a bottle of wine worth $40. The teacher must disclose the gift in
writing to her appointing authority, because a reasonable person might think that
such a gift might influence the teacher to write a better recommendation for the
student.
9. On the Job Restrictions:
Misuse of Position
Misuse of position: Using your official position to get
something you are not entitled to, or to get someone
else something they are not entitled to, is prohibited.
Causing someone else to do these things is also
prohibited.
Cannot use an official position to get something worth $50
or more that would not be properly available to other
similarly situated individuals.
Similarly, cannot use his/her official position to get
something worth $50 or more for someone else that
would not be properly available to other similarly situated
individuals.
Causing someone else to do these things is also
prohibited.
10. On the Job Restrictions:
Self-dealing & Nepotism
Self-dealing and nepotism: Participating as a municipal
employee in a matter in which you, your immediate
family, your business organization, or your future
employer has a financial interest is prohibited.
Cannot participate in any particular matter in which he/she or a
member of his/her immediate family (parents, children, siblings,
spouse, and spouse’s parents, children, and siblings) has a
financial interest.
Can not participate in any particular matter in which a
prospective employer, or a business organization of which
he/she is a director, officer, trustee, or employee has a financial
interest.
Participation includes discussing as well as voting on a matter, and
delegating a matter to someone else.
11. On the Job Restrictions:
Self-dealing & Nepotism (cont.)
A financial interest may create a conflict of interest
whether it is large or small, and positive or negative.
In other words, it does not matter if a lot of money is
involved or only a little. It also does not matter if you
are putting money into your pocket or taking it out.
If you, your immediate family, your business, or your
employer have or has a financial interest in a matter, you
may not participate.
The financial interest must be direct and immediate or
reasonably foreseeable to create a conflict.
Financial interests which are remote, speculative or not
sufficiently identifiable do not create conflicts.
12. On the Job Restrictions:
False Claims
False claims: Presenting a false claim to your
employer for a payment or benefit is prohibited, and
causing someone else to do so is also prohibited.
A municipal employee may not present a false or
fraudulent claim to his employer for any payment or
benefit worth $50 or more, or cause another person
to do so.
13. On the Job Restrictions: Appearance of
Conflict
Appearance of conflict: Acting in a manner that
would make a reasonable person think you can be
improperly influenced is prohibited.
A municipal employee may not act in a manner that
would cause a reasonable person to think that she
would show favor toward someone or that she can
be improperly influenced.
14. On the Job Restrictions: Appearance of
Conflict (cont.)
A municipal employee must consider whether her
relationships and affiliations could prevent her from
acting fairly and objectively when she performs her
duties for a city or town.
If she cannot be fair and objective because of a
relationship or affiliation, she should not perform her
duties.
However, a municipal employee, whether elected or
appointed, can avoid violating this provision by making a
public disclosure of the facts. An appointed employee
must make the disclosure in writing to his appointing
official.
15. On the Job Restrictions: Confidential
Information
Confidential information: Improperly disclosing or
personally using confidential information obtained
through your job is prohibited.
Municipal employees may not improperly disclose
confidential information, or make personal use of
non-public information they acquired in the course of
their official duties to further their personal interests.
16. After-Hours Restrictions:
Second Paid Job
Taking a second paid job that conflicts with the
duties of your municipal job is prohibited.
A municipal employee may not accept other paid
employment if the responsibilities of the second job
are incompatible with his or her municipal job.
17. After-Hours Restrictions:
Divided Loyalties
Divided loyalties. Receiving pay from anyone other
than the city or town to work on a matter involving
the city or town is prohibited.
Acting as agent or attorney for anyone other than the
city or town in a matter involving the city or town is
also prohibited whether or not you are paid.
18. After-Hours Restrictions:
Divided Loyalties (cont.)
Because cities and towns are entitled to the
undivided loyalty of their employees, a municipal
employee may not be paid by other people and
organizations in relation to a matter if the city or town
has an interest in the matter.
In addition, a municipal employee may not act on
behalf of other people and organizations or act as an
attorney for other people and organizations in which
the town has an interest. Acting as agent includes
contacting the municipality in person, by phone, or in
writing; acting as a liaison; providing documents to
the city or town; and serving as spokesman.
19. After-Hours Restrictions:
Divided Loyalties (cont.)
A municipal employee may always represent his own
personal interests, even before his own municipal
agency or board, on the same terms and conditions
that other similarly situated members of the public
would be allowed to do so.
A municipal employee may also apply for building
and related permits on behalf of someone else and
be paid for doing so, unless he works for the
permitting agency, or an agency which regulates the
permitting agency.
20. After-Hours Restrictions:
Inside Track
Inside track: Being paid by your city or town, directly
or indirectly, under some second arrangement in
addition to your job is prohibited, unless an
exemption applies.
A municipal employee generally may not have a financial
interest in a municipal contract, including a second
municipal job.
A municipal employee is also generally prohibited from
having an indirect financial interest in a contract that the
city or town has with someone else.
This provision is intended to prevent municipal employees
from having an “inside track” to further financial
opportunities.
21. After you leave
Municipal Employment
Forever ban: After you leave your municipal job, you
may never work for anyone other than the municipality on
a matter that you worked on as a municipal employee.
If you participated in a matter as a municipal employee, you
cannot ever be paid to work on that same matter for anyone
other than the municipality, nor may you act for someone else,
whether paid or not.
The purpose of this restriction is to bar former employees from
selling to private interests their familiarity with the facts of
particular matters that are of continuing concern to their former
municipal employer.
The restriction does not prohibit former municipal employees
from using the expertise acquired in government service in their
subsequent private activities.
22. After you leave
Municipal Employment (cont.)
One year cooling-off period. For one year after you
leave your municipal job you may not participate in
any matter over which you had official responsibility
during your last two years of public service.
Former municipal employees are barred for one year after
they leave municipal employment from personally
appearing before any agency of the municipality in
connection with matters that were under their authority in
their prior municipal positions during the two years before
they left.
23. After you leave
Municipal Employment (cont.)
Partners: Your partners will be subject to restrictions
while you serve as a municipal employee and after
your municipal service ends.
Partners of municipal employees and former
municipal employees are also subject to restrictions
under the conflict of interest law.
If a municipal employee participated in a matter, or if he
has official responsibility for a matter, then his partner
may not act on behalf of anyone other than the
municipality or provide services as an attorney to anyone
but the city or town in relation to the matter.
