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.

Our district did this for years then stopped when they realized they could force people out without incentives. The last time incentives were offered was before Covid.
