Karnack ISD board approves HB 2 compliance measure to continue pension surcharge for rehired retirees
Summary
The Karnack ISD Board approved measures to comply with House Bill 2 that continue district payment of the TRS pension surcharge and amend the employee handbook so rehired retirees receive the same surcharge treatment as active employees.
The Karnack Independent School District Board of Trustees on March 17 approved district compliance measures for House Bill 2 (employment after retirement/TRS surcharge) and authorized an amendment to the district employee handbook.
The motion to adopt the policy was moved by Trustee Robert Broadnax and seconded by Trustee Elaine Jackson; trustees present voted 4–0 to approve the measure. The board recorded that the district will continue to pay the pension surcharge and will pay the same amount for rehired retirees as is paid for active employees. The minutes note that a new letter reflecting that board decision was drafted for distribution.
The action followed the agenda item titled “Consider/Approve the district compliance measures for House Bill 2 (Employment After Retirement/TRS Surcharge).” No public comment was recorded on the item, and the board did not attach additional fiscal figures to the minutes. The board’s approval means the district will proceed with the handbook amendment and the drafted letter to implement the stated approach.
