'We're proud to support San Diego Unified in delivering equitable, accessible out-of-school learning experiences,' said Nate Brogan, CEO at TransAct.'— Nate Brogan, CEO
LYNNWOOD, WA, UNITED STATES, June 4, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- TransAct, a leading provider of operational and compliance software for the education sector, announced today that the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) has successfully launched its Out-of-Schooltime Tracker software solution to manage the district's Extended Learning Opportunity (ELO) programs.
SDUSD is California's second-largest school district, serving more than 90,000 students from pre-school through 12th grade. Its ELO offerings, such as its Summer PrimeTime Program, provide enriching opportunities for students in the arts, sports, STEM, dance, and more outside the traditional school day and year.
To enhance the experience for its families as well as to provide real-time access for program providers, eliminate attendance-related accountability concerns, and reduce staff workload, the district sought to replace its disparate enrollment and attendance systems with a unified platform that would provide a more modern, user-friendly system. After a competitive RFP process, SDUSD chose TransAct's Out-of-Schooltime Tracker solution for its ability to seamlessly handle registration, attendance tracking, and reporting for its ELO programs available to TK-8th grade students—all in one place.
The launch of Out-of-Schooltime Tracker for the upcoming summer ELO programs is complete. More than 60,000 students were invited to apply, with parents and guardians receiving automated email and text notifications when registration opened. Thanks to easy integration with the district's student information system (SIS), key student-related fields are prepopulated in Out-of-Schooltime Tracker, making the registration process faster and easier for families. Within the first 24 hours alone, more than 13,000 applications were submitted — a number that continues to rise.
'TransAct is proud to support San Diego Unified in delivering equitable, accessible out-of-school learning experiences,' said Nate Brogan, CEO at TransAct. 'Innovative districts like SDUSD are leading the way in using technology to simplify program management, improve communication with families, and ultimately expand access to high-quality enrichment opportunities. We're excited to be part of their mission to create enriching, inclusive experiences for students beyond the classroom.'

You Might Be Violating Federal Labor Laws — Use These 6 Tools to Find Out Before It's Too Late
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. In an effort to help employers avoid violations of workplace regulations, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is encouraging the use of several voluntary "self-audit" programs. These tools are designed to help businesses proactively identify and correct compliance issues — often reducing the risk of costly fines, penalties and lawsuits. Here are six key programs every business owner should be aware of: Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (VFCP) If you have a 401(K) or similar retirement plan in your business you're likely aware that there are many rules that hold you, as the plan sponsor, liable for not choosing low-cost, diversified investment options that benefit employees (and not the employer or a third party), failing to review investment performance quarterly and replacing underperforming funds or high-fee providers or not comparing provider fee disclosures and conducting periodic benchmarking studies to confirm costs are in line with industry standards. The best way to ensure that you're in compliance with all of your responsibilities is to self-audit using the Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program. Under this program, plan sponsors and fiduciaries can proactively correct certain violations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, such as incurring prohibited transactions, making improper loans, or untimely participant contributions, to avoid Department of Labor enforcement actions. The program was first launched in 2002 and was most recently updated in 2025 to include easier processes and a self-correction path. Related: Workplace Safety Law: What You Need to Know Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance Program (DFVCP) Another requirement with 401(K) and similar retirement plans is the filing of required documentation — like Form 5500 — with the federal government. If you have fallen behind in these filings, you are setting yourself up for hefty daily fines from both the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service. The good news is that there's a program called the Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance Program, which helps plan administrators submit overdue annual reports voluntarily and pay reduced civil penalties for late filings. Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Operating an unsafe workspace can impact your business in many ways, including opening yourself up to significant fines, subjecting yourself to potential legal liabilities and significantly hurting your ability to recruit and retain workers. My best clients have strong workplace safety programs and seek advice from outside safety experts so that their environment goes above and beyond even what the federal government requires. But when it comes to the federal government, there's help to also make sure you're in compliance. Run by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), this program aims to "prevent fatalities, injuries, and illnesses through a system focused on: hazard prevention and control; worksite analysis; training; and management commitment and worker involvement." In this program, employers are basically assuring OSHA through their own internal processes that they are operating a safe workspace and, assuming they get approved for the program, become exempt from OSHA inspections while they maintain their status. On-Site Consultation Program This is another OSHA program geared towards small businesses. Under this program, employers can request a free visit from an OSHA consultant and together "identify ways to improve safety and health" in their workplace. Business owners commit to fixing any issues found and implementing other recommendations made by the OSHA consultant. The program is carried out by OSHA personnel separate from the formal inspection group and is intended to help small businesses not only operate a safe workplace but also be in compliance with OSHA rules that impact them. Request Employer Technical Assistance (SALUTE) Many of my clients have had excellent experiences hiring workers who are military veterans, thanks to their discipline, training and competence in many technical areas. If you're interested in doing the same, it may be worthwhile checking out the SALUTE program, which is designed to help employers work with military veterans. Recently the Department of Labor added new resources to assist employers with things like recruitment strategies to attract veteran and military-connected talent and to better understand military culture and skills as well as to help them help veterans in their civilian roles and ensure that employers are complying with laws like the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act which includes legal obligations when employees are called to military duty, reemployment requirements, including seniority and benefits restoration and provisions against discrimination and retaliation. Wage violations Running a business means knowing federal rules. And there are many to track. Among the most substantial are complying with federal minimum wages and ensuring that you're properly classifying your workers who are exempt and non-exempt from receiving overtime pay. In addition, the Family and Medical Leave Act requires employers with more than 50 employees to provide unpaid leave for some time when meeting specific requirements. In some cases, not doing so could open up your company to wage theft litigation and subject your business to federal investigations. Also important is the negative perception among your other employees and to your community. The rules can be complicated, but the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division offers a program that can help employers determine if they're not in compliance with these rules. Not only that, but employers, by enrolling in the program, can proactively correct their mistakes and ensure that their employees are receiving back wages or making other remedies and avoid litigation. The program provides guidance for conducting self-audits and then reporting any violations. You'd then have the opportunity to work in good faith while these mistakes are corrected. Many of my clients are hesitant to "self-report" to the federal government. They fear that they'll be put on some "list" and open up a can of worms that can subject them to future audits or investigation because they're on the government's radar. I'm not so sure that's the case. The government doesn't have unlimited resources and can't go after everyone. Much of the reporting we do is on the honor system, and this is no different. What's important to know is that self-reporting any violations or working proactively with government agencies can significantly reduce any fines, penalties, legal problems and public relations headaches for a business that has been in violation of rules.

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP, a Leading Securities Fraud Law Firm Encourages Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR) Investors To Inquire About Securities Fraud Class Action
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP, a leading national shareholder rights law firm, announces that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Charter Communications, Inc. ('Charter' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: CHTR) common stock between , inclusive (the 'Class Period'). Charter investors have until October 14, 2025 to file a lead plaintiff motion. What Happened? On July 25, 2025, Charter released its second quarter 2025 financial results, reporting that total internet customers had declined by 117,000, compared to about 100,000 in the second quarter of 2024, when adjusted to remove the prior year's impact of Affordable Connectivity Program ("ACP") related disconnected. The Company's total video customers also decreased by 80,000. On this news, Charter's stock price fell $70.25, or 18.5%, to close at $309.75 per share on July 25, 2025, thereby injuring investors. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the impact of the ACP end was a material event the Company was unable to manage or promptly move beyond; (2) the ACP end was actually having a sustaining impact on Internet customer declines and revenue; (3) neither was the Company executing broader operations in a way that would compensate for, or overcome the impact, of the ACP ending; (4) the Internet customer declines and broader failure of Charter's execution strategy created much greater risks on business plans and earnings growth than reported; (5) accordingly, the Company had no reasonable basis to state the Company was successfully executing operations, managing causes of Internet customer declines, or provide overly optimistic statements about the long term trajectory of the Company and EBITDA growth; and (6) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Charter common stock during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than October 14, 2025 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

How Much the Average Upper-Class Retiree Spends Monthly at Age 70
There's no specific data source that lists exactly how much upper-class retirees spend monthly at age 70. However, using data from the consumer expenditures reports issued annually by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), fairly accurate estimates can be made. Here's a look at how much this demographic tends to spend in retirement, using data from the BLS, Fidelity, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and Corebridge Financial. Find Out: Read Next: What Are the 3 Retirement Spending Phases? Corebridge Financial performed an analysis of all of the government figures regarding retiree spending and determined that there are three distinct retirement spending phases. The first is the 'go-go' phase, in which retirees usually spend the most. This tends to occur shortly after retirement, when retirees are most eager to travel, spend on vacation homes or indulge in their hobbies or other entertainment options. Typically, this falls right around the 70-year age range, although there is of course variation within the data. Corebridge dubs the middle period of retirement the 'slow-go' years. In contrast to the spendy first phase of retirement, travel and entertainment expenses tend to moderate in the 'slow-go' years. This is also a period in which some retirees downsize, further trimming costs. In the final years of retirement, spending tends to decrease even more. Mobility may become an issue for many retirees in this phase, leading to more time at home and less money spent on travel, entertainment and hobbies. The good news to this pattern is that as you progress through retirement, you'll likely end up spending less and less as you age. Discover More: How the Upper Class Spends When Compared With Average Americans The BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) only reports spending data across broad age ranges. However, it presents real-world spending information that only the BLS can provide. CES data from 2024 shows that retirees from ages 65 to 74 spent an average of $65,149 in 2023. Meanwhile, those 75 and older only spent an average of $53,031, backing up Corebridge's assertion of a decline in spending as retirees age. The upper class, however, spends much more than the average retiree. A 2022 study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute showed that 3% of retirees spent more than $7,000 per month. This is a fair approximation for what upper-class retirees spend. However, it's important to note that when it comes to wealthy individuals, the sky is the limit. While only a handful of retirees spend more than $7,000 per month, many in the upper class spend $10,000, $20,000 or even more on a monthly basis. The $7,000 figure should be considered the bare minimum when it comes to upper-class spending in retirement. The Upper Class Has Room To Spend Not surprisingly, the upper class spends much more in retirement than those who are lower on the income spectrum. However, there's a fundamental difference in the safety margin among the classes. According to research published in the Financial Planning Association, retirees in the bottom income quintile tend to spend more than they earn in retirement. But those in the upper class tend to draw less than their investments earn. This means that over the course of their retirement, their net worth actually tends to increase. The Bottom Line It's good to be in the upper class during retirement. In most cases, your investment income will far exceed your expenditures, even if they reach $10,000 per month or beyond. This means that you'll not only enjoy a more lavish lifestyle in retirement, but also that your assets will likely continue to grow, rather than being depleted as is more likely in the lower-income classes.
