Senate Bill 1572

Tremendous shortage of administrators.
Job searches are re-opened several times to fill principal vacancies.
Teachers continue to earn administrative credentials; however, they do not seek administrative posts.
The average teacher work year is 187 days; the average principal work year is 230 days.
Currently the retirement system (PSERS) still bases one year of credit on 180 days.
Senate Bill 1572 would provide an enhanced annuity credit for administrators who work a longer year – appropriately weighing the credit depending on the length of the work year.

CALL, WRITE, EMAIL, & FAX YOUR STATE SENATOR TO SEEK THEIR BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR THIS LEGISLATION. ENCOURAGE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE IN THE HOUSE TO WORK WITH REPRESENTATIVE JESS STAIRS SO THAT SIMILAR LEGISLATION OR APPROPRIATE AMENDMENT WILL BE INTRODUCED IN THAT CHAMBER
