For purposes of this section and KRS 161.605, "critical shortage area" means
a lack of certified teachers in particular subject areas, in grade levels, or in
geographic locations at the elementary and secondary level, as determined
annually by the commissioner of education. The commissioner may use any
source considered reliable including, but not limited to, data provided by the
Education Professional Standards Board and local education agencies to
identify the critical shortage areas.
The Kentucky Board of Education shall promulgate administrative regulations
to establish procedures to be used to appoint retired teachers and
administrators to positions in critical shortage areas under this section and KRS
161.605. The administrative regulations shall assure that:
(a) A retired teacher or administrator shall not be hired until the
superintendent assures that he or she has made every reasonable effort
to recruit an active teacher or administrator for the position on an annual
basis; and
(b) A retired teacher or administrator shall be paid, at a minimum, a salary at
Rank II with ten (10) years of experience based on a single salary
schedule adopted by the district.
The commissioner of education shall report members reemployed under this
section to the Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System.
The Kentucky Board of Education shall promulgate administrative regulations
to establish procedures to be used to appoint retired teachers and
administrators to positions in critical shortage areas under this section and KRS
161.605. The administrative regulations shall assure that a retired teacher or
administrator shall not be hired until the superintendent assures the
commissioner of education that the superintendent has made every reasonable
effort to recruit an active teacher or administrator for the position on an annual
basis. The commissioner of education shall report members reemployed under
this section to the Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System.
If a local school district needs a person to fill a critical shortage position after
reaching its quota established under KRS 161.605, the commissioner of
education with the approval of the executive director of the Kentucky Teachers'
Retirement System may allow the district to exceed its quota if the statewide
quota has not been met.
Effective:July 14, 2000
History: Created 2000 Ky. Acts ch. 477, sec. 1, effective July 14, 2000; and
ch. 498, sec. 3, effective July 1, 2000.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/14/2000). Subsections (1) and (4) of
this statute were enacted identically in 2000 Ky. Acts ch. 477, sec. 1, subsecs.
(1) and (3), and ch. 498, sec. 3, subsecs.(1) and (3). Subsections (2) and (3)
were enacted by the same two Acts but with nonidentical, but very similar, text,
subsection (2) coming from Acts ch. 477, sec. 1, subsec. (2), and subsection (3)
coming from Acts ch. 498, sec. 3, subsec. (2). Because the two Acts differ in the
texts of their second subsections in newly created statutes, both versions have
been codified. Cf. KRS 446.250. Acts ch. 477 (House Bill 519) was signed by
the President of the Senate on April 11, 2000, at 10:28 a.m.; Acts ch. 498
(House Bill 739) was signed by the President of the Senate on April 11, 2000, at
1:15 p.m. The tables for the 2000 Kentucky Acts show Acts ch. 498 as being
codified at KRS 156.497, but, because of the near identity of the sections, it was
subsequently decided to merge them into a single KRS section for codification.
