Teachers who plan to retire when their current fiscal year assignment is complete will receive a $500 early notification incentive and may qualify for an additional payout for unused sick days if they submit a Notice of Retirement Form to Employee Benefits Service no later than February 28. See your 2023 Retirement Planning Guide for rules. ​
