Districts with a TEA-declared teacher shortage skip the extra payments, starting 2027-2028.
The bill lets school districts skip the extra retirement-system payments they normally owe when they rehire a retired teacher, if the retiree retired on or after September 1, 2005 and the district has a teacher shortage as determined by the Texas Education Agency. It touches school districts, rehired retirees of the Teacher Retirement System, and the retirement fund that would otherwise collect those payments. Starting with the 2027-2028 school year, shortage districts can bring back retired teachers without paying those surcharges, while retirees who left before September 1, 2005 stay exempt as before.
