I need to contact the RI Teachers Retirement Board to ask about credit from my time in MA, but I'm not sure how to do that. Where can I find the phone number or website? I've been unsuccessful thus far.

We are a new postcard exchange, and we need a kinder, first, or second grade class from Rhode Island to participate. You will need to purchase 50-55 postcards to mail to all of the other states (and maybe a few to Canada). I am compiling all of the information, and will send all of the addresses out as soon as all of the "spots" are filled. In return, you will receive a postcard from every state, all throughout the year. This is a very exciting project! Please join us!
Teachers Should Save Receipts for Educators’ Deduction
IR-2003-106, Sept. 2, 2003WASHINGTON — As the new school year begins, the Internal Revenue Service reminds teachers and other educators to save their receipts for purchases of books and classroom supplies. These out-of-pocket expenses may lower their 2003 taxes.The deduction is available to eligible educators in public or private elementary or secondary schools. To be eligible, a person must work at least 900 hours during a school year as a teacher, instructor, counselor, principal or aide.Taxpayers may subtract up to $250 of qualified expenses when figuring their adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2003. This deduction is available whether or not the taxpayer itemizes deductions on Schedule A.The IRS suggests that educators keep records of qualifying expenses in a folder or envelope with a label such as “Educator Expenses Deduction,” noting the date, amount and purpose of each purchase. This will help prevent a missed deduction at tax time.This is scheduled to be the last year for this deduction. Last year’s Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act put it in place for 2002 and 2003 only.For more information, call the IRS Tele-Tax system toll-free at 1-800-829-4477 and select Topic 458, or read it online.Related Item: Tax Topic 458 — Educator Expense Deduction- see next pageTopic 458 - Educator Expense Deduction If you are an eligible educator, you can deduct from gross income up to $250 in qualified expenses. You can deduct these expenses even if you do not itemize deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A&B (PDF). This deduction is for expenses paid or incurred in tax years beginning during 2002 or 2003. Previously, these expenses were deductible only as a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to the 2% of adjusted gross income limit.You are an eligible educator if, for the tax year, you meet the following requirements: · You are a kindergarten through grade 12; · Teacher · Instructor · Counselor · Principal, or · Aide · You work at least 900 hours a school year in a school that provides elementary or secondary education, as determined under state law. Qualified expenses are unreimbursed expenses [otherwise deductible or trade or business expenses] you paid or incurred for books, supplies, computer equipment (including related software and services), other equipment, and supplementary materials that you use in the classroom. For courses in health and physical education, expenses for supplies are qualified expenses only if they are related to athletics.To be deductible, the qualified expenses must be more than the following amounts for the tax year: · The interest on qualified U.S. savings bonds that you excluded from income because you paid qualified higher education expenses, · Any distribution from a qualified tuition program that you excluded from income, or · Any tax-free withdrawals from your Coverdell Education Savings Account. For additional information regarding personal credits and any alternative minimum tax (AMT) refer to Publication 17 (PDF), Your Federal Income Tax.Subscribe to IRS Newswire
The Internal Revenue Service is pleased to introduce the new web-based “Understanding Taxes” Program. This instructional tax program has been converted from a printed kit to an on-line application at the following address [link removed]!
Designed by educators for educators, “Understanding Taxes” makes real world connections to classroom instruction. It is a great resource for high schools, home schooling, community colleges, and the general public for learning more about the history, theory and application of taxes in the United States.
The “Understanding Taxes” website is divided into four areas for easy navigation and use:
· The Teacher section organizes classroom content into two distinct content areas – the “Whys of Taxes” and the “Hows of Taxes”. · The Student section contains a variety of interactive features to help students understand the basics of taxes and bring their learning to life. · The Tools section provides a variety of aides used to support “Understanding Taxes”. · The Cool Stuff section contains interesting trivia and information about real world opportunities.
The Internal Revenue Service has commissioned this state of the art e-learning application as a part of the family of products and applications, which well help taxpayers and future taxpayers, understand and meet their tax responsibilities. The enclosed brochure provides the highlights of the program but we invite you to access and explore this new generation of “Understanding Taxes” on- line today. Please don’t hesitate to share your reactions and comments. You can e-mail your comments to holly.a.[email removed]:

There are lots of places to apply. We have 39 school districts in our small state. First place I would start is the state department of education. They are very hard to get on the phone but keep trying. Find out what you need to get certified so you can apply for a permanent position for next year. There may be some things that are easier to get while you are still in college than after.
Some communities hire from the sub list and others do not. Your best source of this infomation is probably other subs. District offices are desperate for subs and may not tell you the unofficial policy.
I am moving to Providence RI at the end of the year. I have recieved my BA and I am looking to go into teaching. What do I need to do to start teaching? How difficult is the certification test? What do/will I need before I get out there? I have no experience with teaching, but I have been working in an at-home program with a 5 year old autistic child. It has only been 8 months and I have not been certified in this area. What could I do in that field. Thanks for any feed back. Michael [email removed]
