There Is More Than One Kind Of Double Dipping To Fatten One's Coffers

One day out of routine, and I forget to check my sources of information. One thing I am beginning to see is that there are more people learning to do their own research to connect the dots.

Thanks to the person who sent me these two articles:

Broward Teachers Union: Stop rehiring retirees - Education - MiamiHerald.com:

"Broward Schools Superintendent Jim Notter said the district only rehires select retired employees for specific reasons -- a policy he put in place when he started leading the district two years ago.
When former Northeast High Principal William Kemp wanted to be rehired after retirement to work at that Oakland Park school, he turned Kemp down.
''I had people ready to be a high school principal,'' Notter said.
But Cypress Bay High Principal Scott Neely was rehired for the same job after retirement because, at the time, the school was one of the largest in the country and students were split between two counties.
''I didn't have somebody ready that could step in and handle two different campuses with almost 6,000 kids,'' Notter said.
The union disagrees."

Teachers union rips Broward schools over rehiring of retired administrators -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

"The cash-strapped Broward County Click here for restaurant inspection reports School District spent more than $3 million to rehire retired administrators for managerial or teaching jobs, the Broward Teachers Union said Thursday.

At least one-third of the retirees rehired by the district for management jobs are earning more than they did before they retired, according to information provided by the union. Other retired administrators were rehired for teaching jobs with the district."

Sounds like working for the school system can be a sweet gig. Where do I sign up?
