Sample Longevity Buyout Letter (not an intent to retire)

Longevity Buyout Licensed Employees: As a reminder, if you would like to start your longevity buyout in June 2025, (this is NOT an intent to retire, but many people do access this benefit in conjunction with retirement plans), you must inform the Superintendent in writing of your desire to do so by THIS November 1, 2023. In doing so, you will not receive your typical longevity payment in November 2024, and will receive the first of three installments of the buyout in June 2025 (or the lump sum if you are retiring). *refer to Article 33 in the contract

Sample Sick Day Buy-back Letter (intent to retire)

Sick day Buy-back Licensed Employees: Sick day buy-back IS an intent to retire. Once you submit your request for sick day buy-back in writing, to the Superintendent, that is a binding declaration of your retirement and can only be rescinded with Superintendent approval. If you plan to retire in June 2024, you must put in for sick day buy-back by November 1, 2023 If you are retiring DURING the 2024-25 school year–not at the end–you must put in for it by December 1, 2023. If you are retiring in June 2025, you do not need to do anything in this school year; submit it next school year by November 1, 2024. As a reminder, we have newer language about the thresholds for how many days you need to qualify.  See Article 24 in the contract.
