 | | Ben Cardin believes that when it comes to our children and their education, promises made must be promises kept. |
 | | In 2003, Cardin voted to triple from $5,000 to $17,500 the amount of student loan debt that could be forgiven for math, science and special education teachers who served low-income students and to make loan forgiveness available to teachers who obtained a separate state credential in reading. |
 | | Cardin said, “Our children spend more time in schools than any other place and it’s important that we provide communities with the resources they need to ensure our schools are safe.” In 2004, Cardin announced a $48,000 grant for Baltimore Clayworks for after-school art classes for children in underserved areas. |
