If they’re a non-profit (as many area privates are) you can find their tax filing information via pro publica. Highest paid employees are listed in Part VII.

Religious schools don't file 990s.

Some do. It's s choice when they don't.

No kidding. Which is why the PP answered the question about why they left teaching public for private that way -- because they stayed in public long enough to get PSLF.

Reading is fundamental.

I’m also at a MD private. I make close to $80k with 15 years experience. It’s less than I made when I worked in a public school, but I get paid extra for every extra duty I’m asked to do. I also have more planning time and a supportive administration. Honestly, it’s the strong admin that will keep me at this school for the rest of my career. The positive working environment is worth the cut in pay.

So, teachers who get paid significantly less than public school teachers and are teaching kids from the same community as the public school kids aren't doing a public service and, therefore, should not be able to apply for loan forgiveness? BTW, if the private school is a non-profit, a teacher can apply for TEPSLF provided they meet the requirements (work at school for a certain number of years, have already made at least 120 payments).

Yes if it’s a 501(c)(3) a private school teacher can qualify too. PP was saying that she had to wait until the loans were forgiven because she needed the higher salary from DCPS to make the payments.

I went from private to a DC charter with a Master's in a related field, two years in the classroom plus three years of other teaching experience, and I started at $75K with good benefits. Much better deal than what I am seeing here.

I also have long-term experience in fields related to what I teach.

25 years at that school, or 25 years experience total? It makes a difference. Years of experience rarely transfer to a new job, public or private. It’s BS but that’s how most districts operate.

Why can't schools pay teachers with salaries similar to Google engineers?

You’ve clearly never worked with teachers. Yes the years do transfer for teachers as long as they can substantiate them.

Why would you file a 990 if you aren't required to do so? What purpose would it serve?

There are rare organizations that believe that transparency is a strength and a virtue. But not many. Too many people know where the $$$ go then.

Because parents won’t pay enough tuition to support it

That view is based on experience with multiple educational organizations. Your view is based on..........

Anything at all?
