As you stock up on classroom essentials and refresh your wardrobe for the new school year, be sure to take advantage of the many discounts available to CEA members. From technology to clothing to supplies, retailers are offering deals that help your budget go further—so you can focus on what really matters: preparing your students for a great year ahead.
Connecticut’s annual Sales Tax-Free Week is the perfect time to stretch those savings even more. From August 17 through August 23, most individual items of clothing and footwear priced under $100 will be exempt from the state’s 6.35% sales tax. Pairing this event with educator discounts means you can maximize your back-to-school shopping power and keep more money in your pocket.
