Vicki,

Thank you for sending these comments on behalf of NCHER. We have made all of the suggested changes except for the proposed change in Section 2, shown below. We understand the rationale for the proposed
change, but the reason for having the two check boxes is to distinguish between borrowers who taught special education at the elementary level vs. those who taught special education at the secondary level.
Although the forgiveness benefit is the same for both categories, this information is needed for reporting purposes. With the proposed change, it would not be possible to determine whether a special education
teacher who checked the “for an eligible educational service agency” box taught elementary level or secondary level children.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Good afternoon and TGIF!  Attached are the TLF comments from NCHER.  They are minor – just correcting typos and consistency issues etc.   I will also post these by the deadline but so you have them.  
Thanks and have a great weekend!
