BROWARD Schools Triple Dippers

This list includes public employees in Florida who have their SECOND retirement and will receive a cash bonus payout.

Fake Retirements allow 1,580 Broward County School Employee Triple Dippers to take over $210.2 million in pension cash bonuses and collect $103.6 million in salaries to do the same job at the same time! The top pension bonus is $436,480 with an average of $155,754.

We call upon the Broward  County School Board to simply not renew the contracts of these fake retirement  Triple Dippers and give 1,580 of our unemployed taxpayers a chance at these jobs It’s time for these Retired “Public Servants” to move on and let young people apply for these jobs.  Triple Dippers formally called The Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) allows School Districts and government units to allow employees at age 62 with 8 years on the job or 25 years on the job to file fake retirement paperwork collect a pension and paycheck at the same time to do the same job! Triple Dippers are the only public employees who don’t pay 3% of their salary into the Florida Pension system shifting personal responsibility to taxpayers.   See https://tripledippers.org/  Triple Dippers have created a $36 Billion unfunded pension liability in Florida, approximately $1,652 liability for every man, woman and child in Florida.

The state-wide of approximately 33,593 Triple Dippers can by sorted by Name, Employer,  Fake Retirement date, Pension Cash Bonus and Pension Cash bonus date at https://tripledippers.org/fl-statewide-2022-april-29305-tripledippers/ The cherry on the top is Triple Dippers cash out unused vacation, Sick and Personal Days at their final Highest pay, not the salary when days off were earned, artificially taking more taxpayer money and increasing the final year’s salary upon which future pension payments are made. The Florida Legislature and Governor DeSantis recently gave $500 million to increase teacher salaries and a special $1,000 bonus to every teacher and Principal. Broward County voted in 2022 to increase taxes by $267 Million to increase teachers’ pay, doubling that tax. Replacing the 1,580 Triple Dipping Broward School Employees with freshly trained, newly educated and healthier entry-level people would save taxpayers approximately $44.1   million in lower salaries each year without cutting a single School job!
