A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PERMIT RECIPIENTS OF TEACHING FELLOWS SCHOLARSHIP LOANS TO REPAY THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE STATE BY TEACHING FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS IN SCHOOL SYSTEMS IDENTIFIED AS LOW-PERFORMING OR ON WARNING STATUS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 115C-363.23A(e) reads as rewritten:
"(e)	The Commission shall forgive the loan if, within seven years after graduation, the recipient teaches for four years at a North Carolina public school or at a school operated by the United States government in North Carolina.  The Commission shall also forgive the loan if, within seven years after graduation, the recipient teaches for three consecutive years, unless the recipient takes an approved leave of absence, at a North Carolina public school in a local school administrative unit that, the first year the recipient teaches, is a low-performing school system identified in accordance with Article 6A of this Chapter or is on warning status as defined by the State Board of Education.  The Commission shall also forgive the loan if it finds that it is impossible for the recipient to teach for four years, within seven years after graduation, at a North Carolina public school or at a school operated by the United States government in North Carolina, because of the death or permanent disability of the recipient."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1993, and applies to loan notes created or amended on or after that date.
