AN ACT FACILITATING THE REEMPLOYMENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. Section 10-183v of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2012):
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, a teacher receiving retirement benefits from the system may not be employed in a teaching position receiving compensation paid out of public money appropriated for school purposes except that such teacher may be employed in such a position and receive no more than forty-five per cent of the maximum salary level for the assigned position. Any teacher who receives in excess of such amount shall reimburse the board for the amount of such excess. Notice of such employment shall be sent to the board by the employer and by the retired teacher at the time of hire and at the end of each assignment.
(b) A teacher receiving retirement benefits from the system may be reemployed for up to one full school year by a local board of education, the State Board of Education or by any constituent unit of the state system of higher education in a position (1) designated by the Commissioner of Education as a subject shortage area, or (2) at a school located in a school district identified as a priority school district, pursuant to section 10-266p, for the school year in which the teacher is being employed. A teacher receiving retirement benefits from the system may also be reemployed for an unlimited time by any constituent unit of the state system of higher education in a teaching faculty position for which the teacher is highly qualified as a result of exceptional expertise in the subject matter area of such position. Notice of such reemployment shall be sent to the [board] State Board of Education by the employer and by the retired teacher at the time of hire and at the end of the assignment. Such reemployment may be extended for an additional school year, provided the local board of education (A) submits a written request for approval to the Teachers' Retirement Board, (B) certifies that no qualified candidates are available prior to the reemployment of such teacher, and (C) indicates the type of assignment to be performed, the anticipated date of rehire and the expected duration of the assignment.
(c) The employment of a teacher under subsection (b) of this section shall not be considered as service qualifying for continuing contract status under section 10-151 and the salary of such teacher shall be fixed at an amount at least equal to that paid other teachers in the same school system with similar training and experience for the same type of service. Upon approval by the board of such employment, such teacher shall be eligible for the same health insurance benefits provided to active teachers employed by such school system. No benefits shall be paid under section 10-183t, while such teacher is employed by such system.
(d) No person shall be entitled to survivor's benefits under subsection (f) of section 10-183f as a result of reemployment under this section.
(e) The same option plan of retirement benefits in effect prior to reemployment shall continue for a reemployed teacher during reemployment.
(f) The provisions of this section in effect on June 30, 2003, revision of 1958, revised to January 1, 2003, shall be applicable to any person making contributions to the Teachers' Retirement System on June 30, 2003, in accordance with said provisions.
This act shall take effect as follows and shall amend the following sections: | ||
