This section of the manual covers.

  1. School districts

  2. Educational cooperatives

  3. Educational service regions

  4. Educational service centers

This section explains which employees are covered by IMRF. Educational cooperatives and joint agreements may be formed in various ways. (See 3.46 Educational Cooperatives and Joint Agreements for details as to employment and coverage rules applicable to the various organizational types of educational cooperatives, since they vary.)

In order to participate in IMRF, a person must be an employee of an IMRF employer and meet the standards for participation.

NOTE:  Charter school staff are not employees of the local school district. Therefore, they cannot be members of IMRF.
