Classified employees who will complete their current contract with the board may apply for classified employee early retirement plan. No classified employee will be required to retire at any specific age.
Application for employee early retirement will be considered made when the classified employee states in writing to the superintendent, no later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 8, 2018 that the employee wishes to retire at the end of the fiscal year. Applications made after the date set by the board may be considered by the board if special circumstances exist. It shall be within the sole discretion of the board to determine whether special circumstances exist.
Board action to approve a classified employee's application for retirement shall be final, and such action constitutes resignation from employment and termination of the employee's contract effective the day of the employee's retirement.
Classified employees who retire under this policy may also qualify for retirement benefits through the Iowa Public Employees Retirement System.
Classified employees who have group insurance coverage through the school district may be allowed to continue coverage in the school district's group health insurance program, at their own expense, by meeting the requirements of the insurer.
