Investment Education

CTAinvest.org was developed by California Teachers Association to help you learn more about your retirement benefits, voluntary retirement savings, basic financial topics, and insurance and estate planning. In addition to the articles, the site features helpful calculatorsshort videos, a personalized financial checklist and quizzes. We’ve also included an Ask the Advisorsection that allows you to post a question and includes answers to frequently asked questions. CTA Member Benefits Department also offers educational trainings on 403(b)/457 plans at various conferences and locally. And, look for the new CTA 403(b)(7) Group Custodial Account coming soon for the 2013/2014 school year.

If you didn’t see the news about salary increases this morning in your email….

Last evening the Board approved the settlements between the District and its bargaining units for a 2.5% across the board salary increase.  The increase is retroactive to July1, 2016.  Employees will receive both the retroactive payment and the ongoing salary increase on March 31, 2017 in the form of two checks. The ongoing increase will be included in your regular paycheck and a separate check will include the retroactive payment.

Thank you.

Congratulations to our March member of the month, Holly Wudel!

 

 

Why did I become a teacher? To have the privilege of helping children learn and grow. I work hard to empower each and every student so that they feel they are valuable, important and that they matter. My hope is that by the time they leave me, and head off to Jr. High that they have the tools within them to be the change they wish to see in the world.

My favorite part about teaching are the connections made. Not just academic connections…although those are fabulous…but rather, connections of the heart.   It’s truly an honor to give students the one gift that no one can take away…knowledge.

In my free time, I enjoy being with my family, (Mark, Carly and Michael) as well as spending time at the beach.

Some fun facts about me: I’m a product of Vacaville Unified…I attended Alamo, Markham, Jepson, and graduated from high school in 1983. Over the past year, I’ve lost 95 pounds and feel like a new person!

Being a member of VTA means that I’m in good company. I appreciate the dedication of all of my colleagues around the district who are working hard in many capacities on behalf of our kids.
