2009-2010 Teacher Shortage List Update  

Public school retirees who return to work for a Michigan public school and have been retired for at least 12 months may be exempt from the earnings limitation if they are working in an approved critical shortage position or for a school that has an approved emergency situation. The earnings are exempt for up to six years or until July 1, 2011, whichever comes first.

 

Michigan’s Department of Education (MDE) publishes the list of critical shortage exceptions each year. To see the 2009-2010 list, navigate to Teacher Shortage Memo on MDE's website.
