Bill > S1464

This bill aims to allow teachers who previously worked in non-public schools to receive creditable service for retirement purposes, as if they had worked in public schools. The key provisions include: 1) Defining "non-public school" as an institution not operated by the government that provides education leading to a diploma or college degree. 2) Allowing members of the teachers' retirement system, state retirement system, or State-Boston retirement system who previously worked as teachers in non-public schools to receive creditable service for that time, as long as they were certified teachers and paid 10% of their current salary plus interest for each year of non-public school service. 3) Setting limits on the amount of non-public school service that can be credited (up to 4 years) and requiring at least 10 years of membership service before the credit can be purchased. 4) Providing options for members to purchase the non-public school service either in a lump sum or through an installment agreement within 180 days of being notified of their eligibility.
