Geaux Teacher!: DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS I DO !

Geaux Teacher!: DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS I DO !:


DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS I DO !

At the same time that Governor Jindal is supporting bills that downsize retirement benefits and increase contributions for every category of state employee he is secretly planning for his own retirement - after which he will move on to some other government retirement system while earning a monthly paycheck.

Retired teachers can no longer even substitute for one day without giving up their entire monthly retirement benefit for each month in which they substitute. This deprives children from having a qualified certified teacher in the classroom every day when their teacher is absent. It also prevents a teacher from applying her professional expertise in the employ of any state institute of learning K-12 through university level. In what other profession (engineer, architect, doctor, nurse. . .) does state law prevent them from consulting or working in any capacity part-time after retirement?
