AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- TEACHERS' RETIREMENT

Summary

The bill changes Rhode Island law so that retired educators can be rehired for up to 180 days in a school year when a local education authority (LEA) shows a specialized staffing need. It requires the LEA to first try to fill the position with a non‑retired employee, certify that effort, and limit retired hires to 5% of its certified teacher positions. The measure is temporary, expiring by August 1, 2026 or one year after enactment, whichever comes first.
