The Ohio State legislature recently passed Senate Bill 29, which strengthens student data privacy protections. The law, effective at the end of October, requires school districts in Ohio to implement safeguards when working with third-party vendors. Specifically, districts must ensure that contracts with vendors:

• Acknowledge that the school district retains ownership of student data.
• Prohibit unnecessary access to student data.
• Restrict the use of student data for purposes outside the contract.
• Mandate the return or destruction of student data once the contract ends.
• Limit how vendors can sell, share, or distribute educational records.

Device Monitoring Notification

In compliance with the new law, school districts must also inform parents and guardians when student devices owned by the district are being monitored. Below is our general monitoring notice:

General Monitoring of School-Issued Devices
The District, either directly or through a technology provider, will monitor all school-issued devices (as defined by R.C. 3319.325). This monitoring will include features like location tracking and recording student activity on the device, such as keystrokes and web browsing.

The District monitors these devices for educational purposes, such as instruction, technical support, and exam proctoring. Additionally, monitoring is a safety measure to help prevent and respond to potential threats to life or safety.

WCCC may give notice by means of a general notice on the http://www.mywccc.org/ website, electronic mail to your email address on record in WCCC’s account information, or by written communication sent by first class mail or pre-paid post to your address on record in WCCC’s account information. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the expiration of 72 hours after mailing or posting (if sent by first class mail or pre-paid post) or 48 hours after sending (if sent by email).

Annual Notice about Participating in Your Employer’s 403(b) Plan

Warren County Career Center maintains the 403(b) Plan.
The following information is intended to provide you with information about the opportunity to participate in the
403(b) Plan, including the maximum amount under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) that may be contributed to
the 403(b) Plan.
What are elective deferrals?
The 403(b) Plan may permit you to reduce your compensation by electing to contribute a percentage or dollar
amount to the 403(b) on a pre-tax (and, if permitted by the 403(b) Plan, on a Roth after-tax) basis.
[Insert, as appropriate if your plan contains mandatory employee contributions: Mandatory employee
contributions (if permitted under the 403(b) Plan) are not considered employee elective deferrals. Employees who
make mandatory employee contributions do not have the choice of receiving that amount as compensation in lieu of
contributing to the 403(b) Plan.]
How much can I contribute annually to the 403(b) Plan?
In general, you may make elective deferrals (including Roth 403(b) contributions) to the 403(b) Plan up to $23,000
in 2024 and up to $23,500 in 2025. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may adjust this dollar limit annually for
cost of living. In addition, the 403(b) Plan may permit you to contribute additional amounts under the 15 Years of
Service Catch-up and/or the Age 50+ Catch-up, including increased amounts that may be available to those
employees reaching ages 60-63 by the end of 2025. Please contact your employer for additional information about
these catch-up contributions.
What do I need to do to begin contributing elective deferrals or to change my current elective deferral
contributions to the 403(b) Plan?
The 403(b) plan document identifies those employees who are eligible to participate in the 403(b) Plan. If you are
eligible to participate in the 403(b) Plan, you may begin contributing to the 403(b) Plan by completing and
returning a salary reduction agreement to your employer. In addition to the salary reduction agreement, you must
also establish an account with an investment provider(s) approved under the 403(b) Plan; you may also need to
provide any additional information that may be required to enroll you in the 403(b) Plan.
If you are already currently contributing to the 403(b) Plan, you may be able to increase your pre-tax elective
contributions (and Roth 403(b), if permitted under the 403(b) Plan) by completing and returning an updated salary
reduction agreement to your employer.
Your employer can also provide you with information about who is eligible to participate under the 403(b) Plan, the
forms needed to participate, and any additional protocols.
What is the total amount of employer and employee contributions that can be made annually to my 403(b)
account?
In general, the total of all employer contributions, employee contributions (other than the Age 50+ Catch-up) and
forfeitures allocated to your 403(b) account in 2024 cannot be more than 100% of compensation up to $69,000. In
2025, that dollar limit increases to $70,000 and is subject to IRS cost of living adjustments each year.
If you participate in (1) more than one 403(b) plan or (2) in another employer’s 401 qualified plan (including but
not limited to a pension plan or 401(k) plan) or simplified employee pension plan and you have more than 50%
ownership interest in that other employer:
• The IRC requires that contributions to those plans be combined with contributions to the 403(b) Plan for a
single total annual contribution limit; and
• You are responsible for providing this information to the employer that provided this notice to you. The
employer may ask you for additional contribution information about those other plans in order to monitor
total contributions made to your 403(b) account in accordance with the IRC. Any excess received over the
IRS annual contributions limit (including in coordination with other plans) must be corrected via your
participant account under this 403(b) Plan.
Failure to provide necessary and correct information to your employer about your participation in other retirement
plans could result in adverse tax consequences to you, including the inability to exclude contributions to the 403(b)
Plan under section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.

This Notice is being provided to you because your employer has adopted the Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company
403(b) Volume Submitter Plan. Your employer is responsible for notifying you of Internal Revenue Service requirements
regarding annual contribution limits. This Notice is intended as general information only and is not tax or legal advice. (Rev
11/24)
