Englishtown Regional High School District, Monmouth
County (A-48-08)
Under N.J.S.A. 18A:66-40(a), a school district must return a
formerly disabled teacher to the next available opening in the
position that he or she held at the time of the disability
retirement, so long as the teacher meets the standards set by
the State Board of Education for that position, i.e., a valid
teaching certificate and endorsements.
