Orig. Code(s): GCPC/GDPC 

To assist the ESD in its planning efforts, staff members considering retirement are encouraged to notify
the ESD as early as possible, preferably at the beginning of the school year in which the retirement will
take place.

Retiring employees are encouraged to coordinate with PERS and the Human Resources Department to
ensure that all requirements are met. The superintendent will develop requirements, limitations and
procedures for employment as a PERS retiree.¹ 

ESD employees will be allowed to retire under PERS and return to their position in the ESD with the
approval of their supervisor and with approval of a human resources administrator.

END OF POLICY

¹ House Bill 2296 (2023) modified Senate Bill 1049 (2019), which allows PERS-retired employees to continue to work for PERS-employers without hour restrictions; this provision is now set to expire at the end of 2034.
