Permanent Substitute Teachers Policy

BOARD APPROVED SEPTEMBER 14, 2011

Effective upon Board approval.

Plan participation in the Teachers’ Retirement Board is reserved for teachers as defined under Chapter 167a of the Connecticut General Statutes as follows:

"Teacher means . . . a permanent substitute teacher . . . who serves as such for at least ten months during any school year.”

"Member" means any Connecticut teacher employed for an average of at least one-half of each school day.

The regulations provide that a teacher is entitled to credit for one month of service so long as the person is employed on the first working day of the month.

A member may purchase ten months of credit provided all of the above are met.
