Retiree Teacher Pool (Math, Science, Special Education)
During the 2022 legislative session, the Georgia General Assembly passed HB 385, sponsored by Rep. Shaw Blackmon, to permit public school systems to employ retirees of the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) as classroom teachers in a full-time capacity while continuing to receive their current post-retirement benefits. Retirees who return in a full-time capacity must be employed in an area of highest need determined for each Regional Education Service Agency (RESA).
Key provisions of HB 385 include:
- The retiree must have retired based on 30 or more years of creditable service
- The retiree must be retired for one full year to be eligible for HB 385 employment
- The retiree must be employed as a classroom teacher in a full-time capacity for pre-kindergarten through grade 12
- Eligible positions are the highest need areas determined for the school system’s assigned RESA
- The employer is responsible for paying employee contributions and the employer contribution for retirees hired under HB 385
- Retirees will not earn additional service credit, nor accrue additional contributions and interest
