<div dir="ltr">Good Morning - to clarify - I am asking if anyone has a retirement INCENTIVE, which would be over-and-above their normal retirement payout. This would be a one-time incentive offered to employees to entice them to retire a bit earlier than they had originally planned. For ex, we have 4 or 5 teachers that are eligible to retire (meet all the requirements), however have not yet done so. An incentive may entice them to leave a year or two earlier than anticipated. We offered one in 2014 where a teacher could get a $10,000 bonus to retire by the end of that school year. We actually had some takers. <div><br></div><div>Lucie<br><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Lucie Tabor</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:ltabor@vuesc.org">ltabor@vuesc.org</a>></span><br>Date: Thu, Jun 12, 2025 at 9:19 PM<br>Subject: Retirement Incentives<br>To: Moderated information sharing for school business managers <<a href="mailto:schoolfinance@maillist.informe.org">schoolfinance@maillist.informe.org</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="auto">Does anyone have a retirement incentive program they offer to teachers or administrators <span style="font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif">who are eligible to retire?
