Common use of EMPLOYMENT OF RETIREES Clause in Contracts

EMPLOYMENT OF RETIREES. Where a teaching vacancy exists which the Board may fill by hiring a properly certified teacher who is not already employed by the Board, the Board may consider and employ Retirees for any such vacancy upon the recommendation of the Superintendent. For purposes of this agreement, a Retiree is an individual who has attained service retirement status with the State Teachers Retirement System and is otherwise qualified by certification and background for public school teaching in Ohio. The Board is under no obligation to consider for employment any Retiree and the parties hereto explicitly agree that there is no expectation of continued employment or re-employment when a teacher retires from the Lake Local Schools. A Retiree shall be paid at the Bachelor’s degree Step 5 salary level regardless of training and years of service in any Ohio public or private school, and so long as employed by the Board shall not advance on the salary schedule based either on years of service or additional training. This section shall expressly supersede Chapter 3317 of the Ohio Revised Code.
