It’s important to put the required clauses in a will to ensure the intended purpose of a subscriber’s RESP contributions is upheld. Learn how to safeguard RESP funds. https://ow.ly/9tlG50PW0eC

The repeated delays and errors in releasing the new FAFSA are more than just bureaucratic hiccups; they are a disconcerting reflection of systemic inefficiencies within our education system. The Department of Education's failure to release the FAFSA on time, followed by mistakes and subsequent delays, exacerbates the already challenging process of securing financial aid for many students. The impact is particularly worrisome for lower-income students who depend on timely financial aid decisions. Urgent reforms are needed to streamline these processes and ensure that students aren't left in limbo, uncertain about their educational future.

The repeated delays and errors in the FAFSA timeline are more than just bureaucratic hiccups; they are a disconcerting reflection of systemic inefficiencies within the education system. The Department of Education's failure to release the FAFSA on time, followed by mistakes and subsequent delays, exacerbates the already challenging process of securing financial aid. This situation not only adds stress to students but also raises questions about the preparedness and efficacy of the education administration.

Contacting 911 Direct and Indirect Connection Options Lynx Systems offers two options for organizations to connect with 911 dispatch: Direct Connection to Dispatch: Approved for education only, this option allows K-12 schools to make a direct electronic connection to 911 dispatch, circumventing false alarms and ensuring immediate response. Indirect Connection through Human Verification: For non-education organizations, Lynx Systems partners with Rapid SOS to provide an indirect connection to dispatch. In this case, Rapid SOS monitors will call back within 30 seconds to confirm the issue before contacting 911 dispatch. It’s important to note that any educational institution, including K-12 schools, colleges, and universities, is eligible for direct connection. However, mixed-use education, such as churches, is not included in this category. Schedule your demo today: lynxsales@mitsi.com #CampusSafety #EmergencyPreparedness #StudentSafety #SecurityAwareness

In case you are interested in the hearing schedule for the House’s Committee on Education & the Workforce, here’s what’s on the horizon. No doubt that this is an important issue, but I sure hope we see a hearing about the FAFSA disaster scheduled ASAP. Honestly, I can’t believe it hasn’t already been scheduled. Let’s not forget that these people represent the very students who are being impacted by the ED Department’s mess. The also are responsible for oversight and need to do their job. #emchat #FAFSA #FAFSAsimplification #departmentofeducation #highered #highereducation #admissions #collegeadmission
