HB 1171 Teachers; rehiring of those who are retired, designation of critical need areas.

Introduced by: James H. Dillard, II | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Rehiring of retired teachers; designation of critical need areas. Directs local school boards to annually survey their respective divisions to identify critical shortages of teachers and administrative personnel by subject matter, and report such critical shortages to the Superintendent of Public Instruction and to the Virginia Retirement System (VRS). The school board may delegate this duty to the division superintendent. Retired persons rehired as teachers and administrators for such identified shortage positions may elect to continue to receive VRS benefits.

Under current law, only the Superintendent of Public Instruction is empowered to identify the critical shortage areas; this authority expires on July 1, 2005. Similarly, additional enactment clauses create a corresponding July 1, 2005, sunset for this measure, and an emergency clause makes it effective upon final passage.
