We give everyone the opportunity to learn and develop the right skills so lives and communities are strengthened. Complete 2021: Six Year Strategic Plan for Virginia’s Community Colleges Virginia’s community colleges serve an estimated 400,000 people across the state. The opportunities we provide include some of the most cutting-edge and highly-demanded training and education available. But, simply accessing those opportunities is no longer enough. You have to earn a credential to make it count toward a career. Over the next ten years, Virginia will need to fill 1.5 million jobs. The majority of these jobs will require a postsecondary credential - an associate’s degree and the certifications and licensures that are our bread-and-butter. To accommodate the demand for these middle-skill-level jobs (more than a high school degree but less than a bachelor’s), Virginia’s Community Colleges are embarking on a new six-year strategic plan to triple the number of credentials that our students earn by the year 2021. Tripling the number of credentials that our students earn is the single goal in this strategic plan. | Increase VCCS fall admissions applications from 110,000 to 130,000 by 2017. | | | | Increase the number of students who enroll after applying to 60 percent systemwide. | | | | Increase overall Fall-to-Spring retention to 71 percent systemwide and increase overall Fall-to-Fall retention to 60 percent systemwide. | | | | Increase overall associates degrees, certificates and career certificates by 6,000 over FY2015. Collect information on top business-demanded industry certifications and licenses offered at each college, and the number of students earning them. Increase the number of percent and students for which the college obtains evidence of industry certification or license completion. | | | | Secure resources for outcome-based funding formula for workforce credentials. Secure funding for philanthropic and other investments for the Rural Virginia Horseshoe Initiative. Identify and implement efficiencies in college and system office operations. | Kevin Vick, CEA’s new president, wants to share the purpose he found as an educatorKevin Vick moved to Colorado in 1993 and quickly found the ski slopes. Six years later, he was skiing 100 days a year and in the summers went mountain biking and rock climbing. He loved being outdoors, but he felt like something was missing from his life. “I didn’t feel like I was having a real great purpose,” he said. “Or I was really making a difference.” He turned to teaching and found his purpose helping students as a social studies teacher and prep football coach. He also taught other educators to advocate for themselves and organized them to better their work conditions. Now, in his 24th year as an educator, Vick, 55, who has taught at Doherty High School, has taken over as president of the Colorado Education Association , the state’s largest teachers union. He wants to use his platform to make sure Coloradans know how much hard work and dedication educators put into their jobs. He also wants to share his belief that teaching is full of purpose and teachers make a difference every day. “I think people need to understand just how rewarding education is and how admirable the people that are in it really are,” he said. “They’re trying to make students better, Colorado better, and, ultimately, the world better.” Vick recently talked with Chalkbeat Colorado about his new position as president. Vick is stepping out of the vice president roleAs the former vice president of CEA, Vick worked closely with former President Amie Baca-Oehlert. “You kind of serve at the pleasure of the president,” Vick said. “So whatever Amie needed, I was managing.” He doesn’t plan big changes to the priorities of the union, which has 40,000 members statewide. As a former Colorado Springs Education Association president, Vick says he cares about empowering teachers to have a voice and bargain at the local level. Vick also cares about how testing and state accountability impact teachers and students. He feels accountability has created a one-size-fits-all approach. More consideration should be given to the challenges that happen in classrooms. “Schools are threatened by sanctioning from the state to produce results, regardless of what the students may be experiencing in that environment,” he said. “This creates a lot of disconnect for the teacher, because of their expertise, they know where a student should be. But they’re not able to because of the larger policy pressures.” Vick will also have to tackle new issues in education that his predecessors did not, such as technology such as cellphones and artificial intelligence. Both are tools that can help teachers, but both must be used responsibly, he said. For instance, Vick understands the debate around cellphones and that they can be disruptive. But many teachers have innovative ways of using cellphones in the classroom, he said. Districts should consider how teachers teach before making broad policies, he added. Workplace conditions are especially important to VickSchool is a workplace, Vick said. Vick believes better work environments start with pay, and many teachers have a hard time making ends meet on their salaries. Educators can barely afford to cover their health care, he said. Colorado and other states have struggled to keep teachers in the classroom because of pay, and many educators end up working multiple jobs because they don’t earn enough teaching. “Educators do get better every year of their career,” he said. “They just get a higher skill level every year. And so we need to keep them in as long as possible.” Vick will continue to push for more state education fundingThis week, Vick appeared before lawmakers this week during a special session to help secure a deal that could avoid two ballot initiative s that many predicted would devastate schools and government services. The special session called by Gov. Jared Polis was meant to help preserve education funding while also striking a deal on property tax relief. Vick defended the property tax deal to fend off the ballot initiatives. And for years, CEA has been a constant in legislative committees, especially when it comes to calling for increased school funding. This year, Colorado lawmakers ended the practice of withholding money from schools to pay for other priorities . Not much will change there with Vick. He said he supports a statewide ballot initiative to boost school funding. “We feel that the timing is pretty good right now to make that case to voters that our schools do deserve better and our kids deserve better,” he said.

New Colorado Education Association President Kevin Vick shares how he will approach the job as he replaces Amie Baca-Oehlert. U.S. officials say the MDE misled districts about what they were entitled to provide for students with disabilities during COVID closures. Days above 90 degrees on the heat index are expected to quadruple over the next two decades, meaning more closures for Detroit public schools The superintendent is expected to make school closure recommendations on Nov. 7 and the school board is set to vote on them Nov. 21. Memphis-Shelby County Schools violated Title IX by not adequately responding to complaints of sexual harassment and assault of students over a three-year period, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights announced. The updated application process grew out of a board resolution affirming its desire to collaborate with schools of all kinds, including charters. - Environment

Background: Congress created the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program in 2007 as part of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, Public Law 110-84 , to encourage individuals to enter into and remain employed in public service professions. The program alleviates financial burdens associated with Federal Direct Loans for borrowers working for certain public service providers by forgiving all remaining loan balances following 10 years of public service while the borrower makes qualifying student loan payments. Since its creation in 2007, PSLF has been available to borrowers working for government at all levels, non-profit organizations that are tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and other non-profits that provide at least one of the specific services listed in the statute. This includes early care educators who work in the public sector or for non-profit organizations. A significant share of early care educators, however, are not considered public sector or non-profit employees and current regulations do not provide a pathway for their eligibility for PSLF. Data from the National Survey of Early Care and Education, conducted by the Department of Health and Human Service's Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation, estimates that extending PSLF eligibility to early childhood education (ECE) workers regardless of the tax status of their employer would allow more than 450,000 additional ECE workers to earn credit toward PSLF—about 68,000 who work in home-based settings and 390,000 who work in center-based settings—if they have student loans. [ 1 ] This reflects roughly one-third of the overall ECE workforce. On July 13, 2022, the Department published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register ( 87 FR 41878 ). [ 2 ] In the NPRM, the Department proposed improvements to PSLF that reduce regulatory and administrative barriers that have historically made it more difficult for borrowers to make progress toward forgiveness under PSLF. This included simplifying criteria to help borrowers certify employment, helping borrowers earn progress toward PSLF for months that did not count before, and providing borrowers with more opportunities to correct problems with PSLF. Additionally, in the NPRM, the Department asked directed questions about the possibility of allowing ECE providers who are private for-profit businesses to be considered eligible employers for the purposes of PSLF. In response, the Department received many detailed comments about early childhood education as well as a range of comments in support of making other for-profit employers eligible to serve as qualifying employers for PSLF for individuals in certain occupations. On November 1, 2022, the Secretary published final regulations [ 3 ] in the Federal Register . Those final regulations did not include regulations regarding whether, and under what circumstances, private for-profit ECE providers employing borrowers working as early childhood educators, should be treated as qualifying employers for PSLF. [ 4 ] Solicitation of Comments: Early care educators are among the lowest-paid workers in the country; and the Administration has committed through Executive Order 14095 , to better supporting the care workforce. [ 5 ] The E.O. states that investments in the care workforce are foundational to helping to retain care workers and improving health and educational outcomes for those in their care. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather information about ECE providers. This RFI and the comments received in response to this RFI will not be considered as part the Affordability and Student Loans proposed rule ( 87 FR 41878 ) and any subsequent related final rules. The comments received in response to this RFI will not be used as part of the rulemaking related to the treatment of for-profit employers, including ECE providers, and eligibility for PSLF. Instead, the feedback from this RFI will help inform the Department's understanding of different approaches that might be considered when implementing non-rulemaking solutions related to this issue. Given the operational and implementation hurdles associated with PSLF, the Department is interested in understanding whether there are ways that eligibility could be streamlined if all ECEs became eligible. The Department is soliciting information and data from the public on how the Department could determine employer eligibility and related considerations if for-profit ECE employers were to be considered eligible employers if they provided one of the services listed in the statute. The Department encourages ( print page 51880) comments from researchers, academics, policy experts, and other individuals familiar with ECE employer data; organizations that work directly with ECE workers; State and Tribal government officials who oversee and administer ECE programs; ECE practitioners; and other members of the public. The Department will review all comments received, but does not intend to respond to comments. The Department seeks feedback on the following questions: (1) The Department has always relied upon employer identification numbers (EINs) to identify whether an employer is a non-profit under IRC 501(c)(3). This approach has allowed the Department to create a comprehensive list of eligible employers and use a consistent identifier system. However, some for-profit businesses may be sole proprietors or other providers that do not have an EIN. Are there other uniform sources that the Department might consider using for determinations of qualifying employers? (2) If there are not other uniform sources, how should the Department address eligibility determinations of a for-profit ECE employer? (3) If in consultation with the Department, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), issued a voluntary Public Records Act request from the States to create a nationwide registry of EINs of ECE providers, are State and Tribal agencies that oversee and administer ECE programs in a position to collect this information? Do commenters believe that all States would provide this information? Are there any additional considerations the Department should be aware of should HHS issue this request? (4) What feedback can be provided concerning the time it would take a State or Tribe to undertake the collection of EINs for licensed and regulated providers, including the process, privacy, administrative, or other considerations that the Department should take into account? (5) Should the Department consider a process that relies on unique identifiers associated with licensure as opposed to EINs to identify eligible employers? This is a request for information only. This RFI is not a request for proposals and does not commit the Department to take any future administrative, contractual, regulatory, or other action. The Department will not pay for any information or costs that you may incur in responding to this RFI. Any documents and information submitted in response to this RFI become the property of the U.S. Government and will not be returned. Accessible Format: By request to the program contact person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT , individuals with disabilities can obtain this document in an accessible format.

These estimates are from the Administration for Children and Families' National Survey of Early Care and Education, both the 2019 Home-Based NSECE chartbook and the 2019 Center-Based NSECE chartbook. These data show that approximately three-fourths of home-based providers had at least some college, and 72 percent of for-profit ECE workers had some college or higher. 2. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/07/13/2022-14631/student-assistance-general-provisions-federal-perkins-loan-program-federal-family-education-loan . 3. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/11/01/2022-23447/institutional-eligibility-under-the-higher-education-act-of-1965-as-amended-student-assistance . 4. Section 103(8) of the Higher Education Act contains a definition of ”early childhood education program” that includes public preschool, Head Start, and State licensed and regulated child care programs. It does not speak to the tax-status of providers. Unlike the public Kindergarten through 12th grade system, which provides free access to education for all age-eligible children and youth, there is no parallel system for our country's youngest children. As a result, ECE is delivered through a system of mixed delivery that includes public programs, non-profit settings, and for-profit settings. https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ecd/policy-guidance/dear-colleague-letter-mixed-delivery . The vast majority of ECE settings are home-based, and do not carry non-profit tax designations. Compensation across settings is low generally, regardless of the tax-status of the ECE provider. https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_va.htm . 5.
