Part-Time Teachers
Part-time teachers shall meet the qualifications required of full-time teachers in the district, as well
as the requirements for teachers under state law and/or state regulations. Part-time teachers must
satisfactorily complete the same background checks and screenings required of full-time teachers
by the district.
The contracts of all professional staff employed on a regular, part-time basis must explicitly state the
percentage of full-time employment (FTE) that the employee is contracted to work so that the district
may accurately calculate the accumulation of tenure.
Previously Retired Teachers
A professional staff member who has retired under the Missouri Public School Retirement System
can teach no more than 550 hours during the school year without a discontinuance of the person’s
retirement allowance and subject to compensation limits discussed in policy GCPC, Retirement of
Professional Staff Members.
Any person retired and currently receiving a retirement allowance other than for disability may be
employed in any capacity on either a part-time or temporary/substitute basis not to exceed a total of
550 hours in any one school year and, through such employment, may earn up to 50 percent of the
annual compensation payable under the employing district's salary schedule at the maximum
placement on Step 7 for the position or positions filled by the retiree, given such person's level of
experience and education, without a discontinuance of the person's retirement allowance.
If the position in question is not subject to the district's salary schedule, an employed retiree may earn
up to 50 percent of the annual compensation paid to the person or persons who last held such
position or positions. If the position or positions did not previously exist, the compensation limit
shall be determined in accordance with rules of the Board of Trustees of the retirement system
provided that it shall not exceed 50 percent of the annual compensation payable for the position in
the school district that is most comparable to the position filled by the retiree.
In any case where a retiree fills more than one position during the school year, the 50 percent limit
on permitted earnings shall be based on the annual compensation of the highest-paid position
occupied by the retiree for at least one-fifth of the total hours worked during the year. Such a person
shall not contribute to the retirement system or to the Public Education Employee Retirement System
because of earnings during such period of employment.
A retired teacher may be employed for more than 550 hours, but this will result in a new retirement
account being established pursuant to law, and he or she shall not be eligible to receive his or her
retirement allowance for any month during which he or she is so employed.
Substitute Teachers
All substitute teachers must be certified by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
(DESE) through an application submitted in accordance with state law. The superintendent will
present an initial list of substitute teachers to the Board for approval. If substitute teachers are added
to or removed from the list, the superintendent will submit the revised list or the individual changes
to the Board for approval. Substitute teachers must satisfactorily complete the same background
checks and screenings required of full-time teachers by the district.
A substitute who is assigned the same position for 11 or more consecutive school days shall receive
an additional $5 per day remuneration above the regular substitute wage for that entire assignment.
A substitute who is assigned the same position for 30 or more consecutive school days shall receive
as remuneration a per diem based on the first step on the Bachelor’s column of the teachers' salary
schedule. This per diem is nonretroactive.
