Does anybody have a good grasp of the 54/11 option? Do you have to be 54 years and 11 months exactly in order to be able to resign, or can you simply be 54 but not 55?
Say if a teacher resigned under the 54/11 option in 2010 and their birthday was in June. Were they born in 1955 or 1956? If they had been born in 1955 they would obviously turn 55 in 2010 and would have to resign before June, I imagine.
If they were born in 1956 they would turn 54 in 2010 but would not be 54 years and 11 months until May of 2011. Would this hypothetical teacher who was born in 1956 therefore have to wait until 2011 to resign or could they still have resigned under 54/11 during 2010?
