SURVEY – The Connecticut State Board of Education has embarked on a planning process designed to guide policy and practice improvements for the Department of Education on behalf of all of Connecticut’s children over the next five years. Focused on the goals of equity and excellence of education for all, a critical goal of the effort is to gather feedback from citizens to help inform decision making. As a stakeholder invested in the quality of Connecticut’s public education system you are invited to participate in this survey and share your thinking on these vital topics. This is an opportunity for us to provide input and help determine our own destiny. Please take the time to participate in this survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CTStrategicPlanning

Membership – members can log onto www.cea.org to update their own information. If your information is inaccurate on your CEA card, please update it.

457 Account vs 403B

Both are pre-tax accounts. You can contribute to both accounts now.

The maximum you can contribute to the 457 depends on your age. The maximum you can contribute to a 403B is set by the IRS, currently approximately $20,000-22,000 per year.

The difference – you can withdraw from the 457 account before the age of 59 ½ without penalty.

Certification

It is your responsibility to know when your certification expires and to complete the necessary paperwork to keep it current.
