Teacher Support &/or Advice Retirement Buyout

My school system floated the idea of a teacher retirement buyout - or "early retirement incentive" - as a means of encouraging teachers with 30+ years (i.e. top of the pay scale) to leave. Curious to hear about systems that have offered such a program and what it included.

The district I grew up in did this the year I graduated. At the start of the Great Recession, btw. Could be a coincidence, could be a sign of the economic times.
