Restructuring Abstract]  
Restructuring NOTE 6 – RESTRUCTURING

During the quarter ended February 29, 2024, we commenced a plan to restructure certain areas of our operations to sharpen the focus of our efforts and resources on plans and initiatives to drive additional growth in the future. As a result of this restructuring plan, we reduced our workforce by approximately 50 associates and incurred severance charges totaling $1.7 million. Approximately $1.2 million of the restructuring expense is attributable to the Direct Office segment, $0.4 million is attributable to the Education segment, and $0.1 million is attributable to corporate functions. We intend to invest the resources from this restructuring in initiatives to drive growth in both divisions. The restructuring liability is included in accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 29, 2024 and accrued amounts are expected to be paid in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2024.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we also restructured certain areas of our operations in the Direct Offices segment. We incurred a $0.6 million charge for these restructured operations. All accrued costs related to this restructuring activity were paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
