The teacher will choose how the money will be invested in this account. The teacher may close out his/her account after 24 hours if they choose. All IRS rules, regulations, and taxes regarding the withdrawal of funds from this account shall apply and be the responsibility of the retired teacher. This retirement class may be terminated at the request of either the AWEA or the Board of Education and may be amended with the agreement of the AWEA and the Board of Education. (g) Two (2) additional days of severance pay will be granted to any staff member who submits his/her retirement letter by December 1st.
