Step-by-Step Procedures to Implement “Retire-Rehire”

Step 

I dentify Board meeting date for final Board vote to rehire. This date should be at least 70-90 days in the future in order to accommodate 60-day notice period (see # 5 below).  Working backward from this date, find another Board meeting date which is 15-30 days before the rehire date. This will be the date of the “public meeting” on the rehire. If there is currently no Board meeting scheduled to occur within this 15-30 day “window,” the Board will need to reschedule one of its regular meetings or add a special meeting.  Board meets and votes to approve public notice and a date for public “input session.” Board also acts (if necessary) to reschedule its next meeting or add a special meeting to get the “input session” within 15-30 day “window.”  Prepare a notice for placement in a newspaper of general circulation in the district. (The law does not actually specify the method of notification to the public, but this would probably be the “safest” method.)

 Board meets and conducts “input session” on date selected under #2 above.  At the meeting date originally selected in step #1 above, the board proceeds with a resolution to employ the individual in question. Use your “normal” employment resolution or motion. No need to specify or mention individual’s retired status.
