RE: TRB Annual Statements

We have just received word from the CEA legal department that TRB will not be sending out hard copies of the annual statements.  Below is the information we have at this point. When we find out more, we’ll let you know.

Subject: Update on TRB annual Member Statements

Below is the Q&A that the TRB sent to districts regarding the new plan to email teachers their annual statements. TRB will begin sending test emails to their school email addresses this Friday, January 10th.

Feel free to share with your locals.
