How does having the option of retiring up to 9 years early, receiving a larger retirement pension each year for the rest of your life, and/or trying a new career, like many Tier I retirees, sound to you? These options can happen in addition to retaining mid-career educators and attracting new ones. If this sounds good, we need you to take action and write to your TRA board members. With a forecasted $12 billion Minnesota surplus, a former teacher governor, a seemly pro-education house and senate, and a budgetary year in the 2023 legislature, please take action now.

There are three types of people in this world; those who make things happen, those who watch things happen (and want to teach until age 66), and those who wonder what happened (and want to teach until age 66). What will you choose between now and the end of the 2023 legislative session?
*The few who teach until 66 by choice are in the first group.
