THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATOR (TPA) AND THE IMPACT OF NEW 403 (b) REGULATIONS
At a recent meeting, I was advised that approximately 70% of school districts had not selected a third party administrator (TPA) to manage the new federally adopted 403 (b) regulations. These regulations take effect January 1, 2009 but take almost 30 days for districts and TPAs to establish within each district. In effect, our deadline is December 1, 2008!!!

The Green California Schools Summit & Exposition
The 2007
Green California Schools Summit & Exposition, which took place
in Pasadena, California last December, captured the essence and
spirit of this rapidly growing trend.
Guided by an advisory board co-chaired by Rosario Marin, California
Secretary of State and Consumer Services and David Thorman, State
Architect, the event provided three days of networking, learning
and planning.
It brought together the widest possible range of attendees, representing all sectors of the education community – from local school districts to state educational regulators – as well as hundreds of innovative companies with green products and services.
