ROCK SPRINGS The Sweetwater County School District No. 1 Board of Trustees voted unanimously tonight to offer an early retirement incentive of $50,000 to certified staff and administrators who qualify under its terms.
The incentive is being offered in an effort to avoid a reduction of professional staff in anticipation of projected budget cuts. It will be offered to higher-paid certified staff and administrators, according to Chief Financial Officer Scot Duncan.
Participation in the incentive will be limited to 35 employees on a first-come, first-serve basis. Eligible employees will have between December 16, 2020, and February 1, 2021, to apply for early retirement which can be accessed through their Frontline Education account.
