There is a common misconception that TRA only includes teachers. In reality, it involves people at all levels and locations in education.
WORTH NOTING:
TRA does, in fact, stand for Teachers Retirement Association
St. Paul is the only district that does not participate in TRA. St. Paul has it's own pension: SPTRFA
Minneapolis and Duluth used to have their own pension associations, but merged with TRA in 2006 and 2014, respectively, I believe.
In case it goes without saying, I couldn't fit all those different job titles onto a single informational slide. For example, therapists include OT, PT, vision, audiologists, etc. If you're not sure whether or not you qualify for TRA, please contact them (https://minnesotatra.org/).
If you're up for the challenge, pass this info on to people who might benefit from the knowledge.
