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?
