NEW LAW OPENS DOOR TO TEACHING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACCOUNTANTS

SB 582 (Session Law 2021-48) allows accountants and other professionals to contract with local boards of education to teach high school courses in their area of specialized knowledge or work experience. When the bill was debated, bill sponsor Senator Jim Burgin (R-Harnett) specifically mentioned the importance of making it easier for accountants to teach courses on financial literacy, economics, or mathematics. Burgin said his bill is a way for professionals to redefine the “second half” of their lives while giving something back to their communities.
