Bill Summary
Relative to retirement credit for private or parochial school teaching. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill allows teachers who have taught in parochial or private schools to purchase up to 10 years of service credit for that teaching experience, provided they meet certain criteria. The key provisions are that the teacher must have held an appropriate teaching certificate, taught in a school approved by the state's Department of Education, and made contributions to the retirement fund as they would have if the service was as a state employee or public school teacher. The bill also allows alternative options for obtaining credit if the teacher does not meet the initial criteria. Overall, the bill aims to provide teachers with private or parochial school experience the ability to count that time towards their state retirement benefits.
