I've lived in Dade county my entire life. Played football there during middle and high school (late 90's -2000). DCHS is usually not a good team. Normally .500 or less. About every 10 years or so they have a decent team and make short run into the state playoffs. I think they do have a state championship title from back in the 50's or early 60's. I cant recall exactly. Anyway, I don't expect alot to come from this hire. He maybe a great coach, but the talent pool he has to work with is shallow.
The way the school system works is when you retire from one state, you can go to another state and draw full pay without it effecting your retirement pension from the previous state. If anyone in the Chattanooga area remembers, Coach Tom Weathers (Red Bank HS) done the exact same thing when he retired from TN. He came to Dade and coached for a few years but didn't really accomplish much, at least not that i can recall. I see this hire as the same kind of play. Hopefully i'm wrong about it, but if nothing else it will amp up locals, get people in the bleachers, and raise school funds.
Here in NC, the trick is to save up your sick leave until retirement and sell it back when you retire. It artificially bumps up your pay in your final year which is a nice kick in the formula for retirement pay. A relative did this. I wish her all the best, but, really, not sustainable.Probably just a double dipper deal. I've seen Teachers do the same thing, Put in 20 at Tenn schools, then move to Ga and put in another 20. Two pensions; plus SS. Tricky Dicky. Trenton won't be sending any prospects to UT. Nope.

Fake news - you can draw retirement after your vested without teaching the full 30 years. The retirement is discounted however based on age and years of service.

Thank You. I have a classmate who did exactly what I described; I don't post stuff with good info. She gets a check from Tenn & Ga. AND She's not old enough to put in 30 x2.
She is 60ish. Landscape.
