DESCRIPTION



This act allows the hiring of a retired teacher to work between 550 and 800 hours as a teacher, librarian, counselor or other position without losing their retirement benefit. Such a teacher may earn up to 75% of the regular earnings for that position. The act requires the district to contribute the regular contribution percentage, which is 10.5% this year, but will be 11% next year and will continue to increase by 0.5% per year for the next few years.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
