It's no secret that attracting and retaining teachers is top of mind for school districts across the nation. Join our team of financial wellness experts for a free, three-part webinar series examining your staff's biggest financial challenges, tactics to address their stress, and ultimately, ways to keep them in your district.
Thursday, June 22
In this session, we'll talk about:
1. The challenges that student loans place on teachers and staff
2. The educator's path to retirement (403b, 457, hybrids, pensions, healthcare concerns)
3. The stress of the rising cost of living
Financial stress plagues the majority of K-12 teachers, staff, and even administrators. This money stress can be the byproduct of crushing loan debt, inadequate retirement savings, a lack of emergency savings, or a need for additional financial understanding. But there's a path forward that can help educators tackle their money challenges and stay in the classroom—rather than leaving the profession. Watch the session devoted to the financial stressors that impact educators more often or to a greater degree than the general population.
