Bill > S1356

This bill clarifies that retired school district personnel, when reemployed as instructional staff, cannot be awarded a "professional service contract," which is a type of employment contract offering more stability and benefits than a standard annual contract. The bill specifically states that this restriction applies regardless of when the individual retired and overturns a previous court ruling that allowed retirees to receive these professional service contracts. If a former retiree who was reemployed under the old rules sues for a professional service contract, the bill intends for judgment to be entered against them. However, any professional service contracts that were already mistakenly given to retirees before this bill becomes law will remain valid.
