The site will allow school personnel to learn the workings of their 403(b) and 457(b) plans, as well as access forms, documents, and vendor information, according to a press release. It will contain a mix of content that is standard across all school districts and content that will be customized for each individual school district.
bWise Guys, LLC and CalSTRS are aiming for a spring 2011 launch.
“We intend to create an easy-to-use tool that makes understanding and participating in the 403(b) and the 457(b) supplemental retirement plans simple,” said Dan Otter, a former California school teacher, and owner of bWise Guys, LLC, in the announcement.
