Biden Reportedly Planning To Issue $10,000 Student Loan Forgiveness For Some Borrowers
 
President Joe Biden is reportedly set to issue a student-loan announcement Wednesday that could include a $10,000 loan forgiveness plan for borrowers making under $125,000 a year.
 
CNBC reported that Biden’s announcement on student loans could come “as soon as Wednesday.” The Wall Street Journal later reported that the administration is in fact making plans for an announcement on that day. The administration has spent months debating the subject of student loan cancellation and officials vowed a decision would come before the end of August.
 
While the White House has not confirmed official details of Biden’s plan, NBC News reported Tuesday that he will likely announce a $10,000 student loan forgiveness for individuals making less than $125,000 a year. Biden is also reportedly planning on extending the current pause on student loan debt payments, NBC News reported, citing sources familiar with the plans.
 
“The President will have more to say on this before August 31,” White House spokesman Abdullah Hasan told NBC News in response to the reports. “As a reminder, no one with a federally-held loan has had to pay a single dime in student loans since President Biden took office, and this Administration has already cancelled about $32 billion in debt for more than 1.6 million Americans — more than any Administration in history.”
 
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller.
 
Some members of the Democratic Party are likely to be disappointed with Biden’s reported decision. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, for example, have pushed Biden to cancel upwards of $50,000 in student loan debt. Meanwhile, more left-wing lawmakers like Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders have called for a full cancellation of student debt, Forbes previously reported.

About 36,000 LA Unified Students Missing From First Week of School
 
About 36,000 students enrolled in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD)—the second largest school district in the United States—were absent from the first week of school, according to data released by the district.
 
The data shows 89 percent of students attended the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 15. That number rose slightly to 91.8 percent the following day, climbed to 92.8 percent on Wednesday, and reached its peak at 92.9 percent on Thursday before falling slightly to 91.9 percent on Friday.
 
The first day’s attendance rate was 12 percent up from the 77 percent on the first day of the previous school year.
 
After nearly half of LAUSD students, or about 200,000, were found in April to be “chronically absent”—defined as having missed more than nine percent of their classes—Superintendent Alberto Carvalho implemented a strategy to reconnect students, including visiting their homes over the summer.
 
At the time, Carvalho said he planned to launch a program in the 2022–2023 school year that would create a team of counselors tasked with preventing chronic absenteeism thou
