This bill amends current law to allow retired school superintendents, administrators, and certified school nurses to be reemployed by school districts for periods exceeding two years without requiring approval from the Commissioner of Education. Previously, these individuals could only be employed under one-year contracts that could not be extended beyond a total of two years without such approval. The new legislation permits the renewal of these one-year contracts annually without any limit on the number of renewals, effectively removing the two-year cap.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that retired certificated superintendents, administrators, and certified school nurses who are reemployed will not obtain tenure in their new positions, and any tenure or seniority rights they previously held will not apply during their period of reemployment. This change aims to provide greater flexibility for school districts in hiring retired educational professionals while ensuring that the integrity of the retirement system is maintained under federal law.
