Endorsed School Board Candidates Need Our Support
There are only a few days left to spread the word for our endorsed school board candidates Nelly Korman, John Moravec and Mia Olson. The candidates were endorsed by the local unions in Bloomington (MRLF) to push our district forward. The candidates believe that teacher and employee voices should be part of the decision-making on the future of our district. The BFT believes that teachers have something to offer our leadership and that our expertise has value.
Bloomington’s Election day is just days away!
- There are many ways you can help get the right candidates elected. Click here to see how or email Kirsten Morcomb and Patti Arteel directly.
- The MRLF has sponsored activities, too. Check them out if you can't participate in any BFT activities.

When Can I Afford to Retire?
When Can I Afford to Retire seminar at the SW Metro field office is available to all members. If you plan on retiring within the next 5 years, this seminar will be invaluable to your planning.
There is a 3-step process for assistance:
1) Attend an ESI seminar
2) Schedule a meeting with a TRA and/or PERA counselor to provide you with individualized options for you based on these changes.
3) Schedule a meeting with a financial advisor to help you in making the decisions that are the best for you. If you don’t have one, check out our sponsored partner, EFS Advisors. You can find your local advisor here.
Registration is 4:15-4:45. Dinner is provided with the event ending at 7PM. Please register as soon as possible as seating is limited. You can register by clicking here.
