Co-Sponsors:  Auer, Carter, Kennedy, Boykins, Dougherty,
Hilgemann, Thompson (72)

This bill permits districts with at least a 5% teacher shortage
to apply to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
for waivers allowing retired teachers to teach for up to 2 years
without loss of retirement benefits.  The department is also
permitted to offer incentives to retired teachers in poor urban
and rural districts with teacher shortages.
