RETIREMENT OF PROFESSIONAL STAFF MEMBERS

Under Massachusetts law, all professional personnel participate in a teachers' retirement plan which provides several options on time of retirement and benefits granted to those who retire. It also sets limitations on the number of days a retired employee may be reemployed annually on a temporary basis by the school system. Temporary employment up to 90 days or 720 hours per calendar year is permitted at the discretion of the employer.
