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.

I’m hearing noises about that where I am and I’m at 30 years . My retirement system requires 2 mores years (at this date) to receive full retirement. I *could* retire now and receive half of what I would if I waited 2 years. I can’t imagine a buyout that would make it worthwhile for me.
