Can New York City Charter School employees join TRS?

Yes, if their Charter School has selected pension coverage from TRS. Appointed teachers and pedagogues in participating Charter Schools are required to become TRS members. As of October 29, 2021, certain paraprofessionals (Auxiliary Trainers, Bilingual Professional Assistants, Educational Assistants, Educational Associates, and Teacher Aides) at participating charter schools are also required to become TRS members. Check with your school administrator to learn if your Charter School provides TRS coverage for employees.
