Community colleges: faculty members: loan forgiveness.

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Under existing law, the board appoints the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to serve as the chief executive officer of the segment. This bill would require the chancellor's office to develop and provide to community college districts specified materials designed to increase awareness of the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program among community college faculty members. The bill would require the governing board of a community college district to annually provide the materials to those faculty members. The bill would require a community college district to annually provide a faculty member who is enrolled in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program with notice of renewal and a copy of the employment certification form required to be completed for purposes of the program, with the employer portion of the form already completed. The bill would require a community college district to make specified determinations relating to the work completed by faculty members for purposes of the program.
