Summary

The bill lets qualified retired teachers return to public school classrooms while keeping their retirement benefits and becoming contributing members of the state retirement system without earning new benefits. It also eliminates the current 50/50 split of the employer's pension contribution for these teachers. The change could expand the pool of experienced educators and reduce district pension costs.
