What this document actually says
This administrative regulation, adopted in August 2005, allows the Reed Union School District to hire retired certificated employees (teachers, administrators, counselors) as consultants. To qualify, retirees must have worked for the district or county for at least 10 years. These consultancy contracts can be renewed annually for up to three years. Retired employees working under these agreements remain district employees but cannot contribute to the retirement system or earn additional service credit. Their pay is negotiated individually rather than following the standard salary schedule. The district must follow state retirement system rules when employing retirees, which typically limit work hours to avoid affecting retirement benefits. This policy provides flexibility to retain experienced educators for specific projects or temporary needs.
What this means for your family
This policy helps the district retain experienced teachers and staff after retirement for special projects or temporary positions. It may allow your child to benefit from seasoned educators' expertise while managing staffing needs cost-effectively. The policy doesn't directly change classroom services but affects how the district uses its personnel budget and maintains continuity of quality instruction during transitions.
