EMPLOYMENT OF RETIRED TEACHERS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH PRIOR SERVICE CREDIT IN THE TALLMADGE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT. The parties agree to abide by the following terms and conditions relating to the employment or re-employment of teachers following such teachers’ service retirement. Specifically, the parties agree that: a. The Board is under no obligation to employ any retired teacher and, further, there is no expectation of continued employment or re-employment when a teacher retires from the Tallmadge City Schools. Such teachers need not be interviewed by the Board for any open positions for which they may apply. b. A “retired” teacher already receiving health insurance benefits through STRS and who is employed or re-employed by the Board must agree to waive any and all right to such coverage as a condition of employment (or re-employment) in addition to eligibility for any opt-out amounts that might otherwise be payable for such coverage and such teachers may be required to execute an appropriate waiver declining the Board’s coverage and eligibility for an opt out, if any, upon such employment or re-employment. To the extent that a retired teacher previously covered by STRS loses insurance coverage through changes in STRS regulation, state law, or through legal action, such teachers would immediately be eligible to participate in the Board’s health insurance coverage (or opt out, if applicable) on par with any other teacher. Likewise, any retired teacher not yet eligible for health insurance benefits through STRS may participate in the Board’s health insurance coverage until they become eligible for STRS insurance coverage. c. Salary placement for years of service granted for newly hired retired teachers not previously employed by the Board shall be consistent with the terms of the collective bargaining agreement (Article V, Personnel Appointments, Paragraph A. 1.). Notwithstanding Revised Code Section 3317.13, salary placement for years of service granted for retired teachers previously employed by the Tallmadge City School District Board of Education shall be as if such teacher was new to the District and therefore will be consistent with the terms of the collective bargaining agreement for newly hired teachers not previously employed by the Board (Article V, Paragraph A.1.). d. Salary placement for the appropriate education column (i.e., BA through MA + 15) shall be fully recognized. e. Seniority for retired teachers newly hired by the Board as well as for Tallmadge teachers returning to employment with the Board after retirement will be zero (0) upon such employment and all references in the collective bargaining agreement to “years of service with the district,” “seniority,” etc., shall mean years of service/seniority earned after employment by the Board following retirement. f. Teachers employed by the Board after retirement shall not be eligible for continuing contract and are restricted to one (1) year limited contracts of employment. g. In the event the Board determines it necessary to enact a reduction in force pursuant to Article XI, teachers employed by the Board after retirement shall not be rehired at the end of their one-year contracts to fill any position that might otherwise be available for interested non-retired members of the bargaining unit. Further, teachers employed by the Board after retirement shall have no bumping rights nor any right to recall. h. There will be no severance pay for accumulated sick leave for retired teachers employed by the Board; however, such teachers will be granted fifteen (15) days of sick leave with their first contract with the Board and will accumulate sick leave thereafter on par with other teachers. The parties specifically agree that this provision supersedes Ohio Revised Code section 3319.
