PBA: Retired cops can help solve teacher shortageA PBA sponsored bill that could help ease the city's teacher shortage by allowing retired police officers to become teachers while collecting their police pension was given a home rule message by the City Council yesterday PBA President Patrick J. Lynch said. "Many police officers retire in their early 40's with a college education, invaluable life experience as police officers and a desire to start a new career," Lynch said. "This law would encourage retired officers to become teachers while allowing them to collect their police pensions. It would be a win for our retirees who can start another career in a noble profession and a big win for the city's school system which is suffering a significant shortage of teachers." PBA Political Action Director Robert Zink said, "We presented this important bill to the City Council's State/Federal Legislation Committee where it was approved by that committee and on the floor of the council. The PBA intends to stand strong behind this win/win bill that benefits the school children of New York City and retired police officers." ### |
