Retirement Incentive Option Plan 

 

C. TRS Early Retirement Option
 
For Teachers who elect the TRS Early Retirement Option, the Board will pay the employer contribution per the applicable TRS statute and the Teacher's contribution (with the Board payment of the Teacher's contribution capped at the 7% formula of the old ERO) lump sum payments required to participate in the TRS early retirement program. The deadline for submitting early retirement requests is February 1st. This option may be limited at the discretion of the employer to a specified percentage, not lower than twenty percent (20%) of those eligible based on seniority in the service of the employer.
