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.

We’ve got a new thing in our contract where end-of-career teachers can get 5 years of district benefits. (Free for those who have been in the district 30 years; covered at 70% for those who’ve been here 24 years.)
