The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 779, seeks to amend section 10-183v of the general statutes to allow retired teachers to be reemployed full-time by local and regional boards of education. A key aspect of this amendment is that the salary earned during such reemployment will not be included in the pension calculations for the retired teachers.

The purpose of this legislation is to help alleviate the ongoing teacher shortage by enabling retired educators to return to the workforce in a full-time capacity without negatively impacting their pension benefits. This initiative aims to leverage the experience and expertise of retired teachers to support public schools in meeting their staffing needs.
