“We commend President Biden’s action today that will bring desperately needed financial relief to millions of American families. The spiraling cost of higher education has left students and families across New Jersey and America with crushing debt that they took on in pursuit of better opportunities. The American Dream should be accessible to everyone, not just those with the good fortune and privilege to easily afford it. While we believe more still needs to be done to address both the student debt crisis and the unsustainable cost of higher education, today’s action was a large step forward. This decision will improve the lives of thousands of educators from New Jersey and their families, and, once again, it demonstrates President Biden’s strong support for America’s hardworking families.” - NJEA President Sean Spiller, Steve Beatty: Vice-President of the NJEA, Petal Robertson NJEA Secretary Treasurer
