Board posts statutory notice of intent to consider rehire-retire of superintendent
Summary
The board held a public hearing required by Ohio law to consider a retire-and-rehire arrangement for Superintendent Mister Meyer and said any formal board action will occur at the July 9 meeting after the statutory waiting period.
Olentangy Local School District trustees held a public meeting on June 12 to satisfy Ohio statutory notice requirements related to a possible rehire-retire arrangement for Superintendent Mister Meyer.
The board said the district provided notice on May 8 and that the law (R.C. 3307.353 as cited at the meeting) requires at least 15 days between the public meeting and final board action. The superintendent and board described rehire-retire as an administrative mechanism used by districts that permits eligible employees to receive retirement benefits and return to service; the board said the arrangement does not increase district costs in itself and that final approval would be considered at the July 9 meeting.
Mister Meyer and board members explained that if the rehire-retire plan moves forward the superintendent would forfeit two months of retirement pay (per the retirement system rules described) and then continue serving under the negotiated contract terms. Board members invited public comment and noted the July 9 meeting will carry the decision.
Ending: The board took no action at the June 12 meeting and will vote on the possible rehire-retire at the July 9 board meeting after the statutory waiting period.
