ClassWallet Partners with Stride Bank for its Prepaid Mastercard

From the CEO

Greetings,

I’m encouraged. The past few weeks I have been meeting with state legislators and offices of state superintendents. It is becoming abundantly clear that more emphasis is being placed on giving teachers more say in classroom-related procurement.

Most states earmark amounts for classroom related purchases. Very few states legislatively mandate that teachers get direct access to those funds. As a result, most procurement decisions are removed from teachers’ evolving everyday needs.

This dynamic contributes to teacher disenfranchisement. Legislators and senior officials are beginning to understand this. I expect to see a growing trend of new policies requiring teachers have more direct access to state funding, further decentralizing procurement. This will be a win-win. Teachers will be able to meet student needs more successfully and feel more in control of classroom decisions.

Sincerely,
Jamie
CEO, ClassWallet
