If an employee gives the Board an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st three (3) years prior to the school year of retirement, the Board shall pay him/her a six percent (6%) retirement incentive, inclusive of all other increases in TRS creditable compensation, for each of his/her remaining three (3) years of service. If an employee gives the Board an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st two (2) years prior to the school year of retirement, the Board shall pay him/her a six percent (6%) retirement incentive, inclusive of all other increases in TRS creditable compensation, for each of his/her remaining two (2) years of service. If an employee gives the Board an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st one (1) year prior to the school year of retirement, the Board shall pay him/her a six percent (6%) retirement incentive, inclusive of all other increases in TRS creditable compensation, for his/her remaining year of service. Once an employee submits an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st, that employee shall be removed from the salary schedule contained in Article IX of this Agreement. All calculations for increased TRS creditable earnings will be based on the TRS creditable earnings in the year prior to the submission of the irrevocable notice of retirement. Once the employee submits an irrevocable notice of retirement an employee’s creditable earnings shall be increased by six percent (6%) of the previous year, but in no case will the employee’s TRS creditable earnings increase exceed six percent (6%) of the previous year. If, after submitting an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st, the employee resigns from, or is dismissed from duties for which the employee was paid a stipend or additional compensation the previous year, the retirement incentive for that employee will be recalculated accordingly.
b) To be eligible, an employee must submit an irrevocable notice of retirement by February 1st which must be accompanied by a Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS) member requested “Personal Statement of Benefits” and a “Benefit Estimate” confirmation of total years of service.

1) The employee is sixty (60) years of age and has ten (10) years of creditable TRS service.
2) The employee is at least fifty-five (55) years of age and has thirty- five (35) years of creditable TRS service.
c) If, during the term of this Agreement, any legislation and/or TRS rules/regulations are enacted or not reenacted and/or adopted or amended that result in a greater cost to the District than the costs generated by this Agreement, or that change the definition of what is subject to the 6% TRS cap, the parties agree that this Section shall be null and void and upon the demand of any party shall meet to bargain language to succeed this paragraph.
