It’s always “You know, you CAN…” and never “I did it.” or “My sister did it.”. This makes me suspect that it is either very difficult to accomplish or people realize during that 45 days that they don’t want to go back.

I think it is very rare and as someone else mentioned, the teacher needs to be in an area of high need where a replacement can't be found. There was a teacher at the Blair Magnet who retired last year but came back last fall. The classes he taught were unique, and as I understand it, MCPS truly wasn't able to find a replacement. I've heard that they now have a replacement, so he won't be returning this fall.

My understanding was he came back as a long term sub. He was thrilled to not have all the extra work of a full teacher.

What's the difference? What don't LTS's do that permanent teachers do?

Typically in a high functioning school, they'd be getting lessons from someone else or the teacher that left them behind. Depending on the timeframe, they may not have to do final grades. They don't attend all staff meetings.

I left Mcps in 2018. I switched careers for a bit, and now I'm trying to get back into another system. I'm long-term subbing in my content area and don't need anyone's plans. They are only required to give you about a week's worth of lessons if they're going on leave. It's not fair to expect a teacher to do the work on his or her own time so it's smart, if possible, to hire someone who was in that content area.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case, as we had a wonderful sub who had to stay in a Spanish position for an entire term. And she does not know Spanish.

But you can retire and be re-hired. My friend retired as an administrator from Montgomery County and is now teaching in Frederick County.

Not a teacher, but a former MCPS principal just became a HCPSS principal a year after retiring.

It happened at Dc's elementary. Teacher retired but in the middle of the next school year they had an emergency opening and they rehired her and she stayed about 2 years.

I forgot to mention that there is a pretty big tax penalty for her doing this but she still makes a ton of money.

Curious if the tax penalty is just because of the increased combined income from pension + salary or if there is more to it.

Did you start the pay as a new teacher or they let you keep the salary you retired with?
