KENNEDY CONTACTS GOVERNOR
ON THE RETIREMENT ISSUE
(CoDtlnued from first page)
tremely broad. This conclusion is
further emphasised in subsection 6
following.
"On page 4 undbr section 2, it Is
agsin stated that the retirement sys
tem is astablished to provide re
tirement allowanoee for teachers and.]
employees of the State of ^uth Caro
lina and political subdivisions there
of. The same Implication is Included
under eubeection 2 of eectlon 8, on
page 6.
"Under section 4. subsection 1, on
page 8, the term ‘of all South Caro
lina service as a teacher of employee’
is used, again supporting the argu
ment that all teachers were intended
to be retired from State funds. Sub
section E. of the same sectioa on
page 10, states, ’any teacher who has
a total of 35 years in the public
schools of South Carolina at the ap
proval date of this Act, may elect to
retire under the provisions of this Act
and shall be entitled to the benefits
thereof.’ Again, please note that the
source of compensation is not made
a requirement for participation.
“As a member of the Legislature,
I feel that the intention was to pro-
vide particularly for the other teach
ers and that the one million dollars
appropriated was to take eare of cases
where there would be no contribution
prior to retirement. Under the Act,
in subsection 3, section 1, which
states. ‘Ill all cases of doubt the. re-
tirement board, hereinafter defined,
shall determine whether any person
is a ,)egcher or employee as defined
In the Act,’ broad latitude is given the
Board. In passing this legislation it
was realized that cajies would arise
where injustice might be done if there
were no flexibility in the Act. It was
flso realized that thfse deserving
public servants had no money nor
facilities with which to fight their
claims In the courts. It is therefore
expected that the Board will make its
decigions with due regard to the long
public service rendered by these most
deserving public servants.”
