The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 779, aims 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 primary purpose of this legislation is to address 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 seeks to leverage the experience and expertise of retired teachers to help alleviate staffing challenges in public schools.
