An Act regulating education administrator retirement

This bill allows education administrators in Massachusetts to count past work in special education as retirement credit if they paid into their pension fund. Specifically, it applies to individuals who supervised special education services in non-public schools where the state helped pay tuition. To claim this credit, the administrators must make a one-time payment or a series of payments equal to five percent of their salary from that time period, plus interest. The law gives these workers the option to choose when to make this payment before their retirement benefits begin.
