The TEACH Grant program incentivizes teachers to serve in high need, often neglected communities. However, often due to basic clerical mistakes, thousands of teachers had their TEACH grants converted into student loans that must be paid back with interest. To correct this problem of failed program administration, Senator Braun drafted the Consider Teachers Act (S. 848) with Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. This legislation fixes this broken system permanently, and provides extra time for teachers to complete service requirements due to the coronavirus pandemic. This bill was approved unanimously by the U.S. Senate on April 27, 2021, followed by passage in the U.S. House of Representatives on September 28, 2021. President Biden signed Senator Braun’s bill into law on October 13, 2021.
