Key provisions

- Allows retired teachers to work beyond 140 days when teaching vacancies exist.
- Specifies that the number of days worked is calculated based on hours worked and a full-time teacher's standard workday.
- Prohibits benefit reductions or additional contributions for retirement benefits due to extended employment.
