This committee will meet every Monday at noon to coordinate the necessary communication and promotional work. We are also organizing two sub committees to promote the bond referendum.

Representatives from the Foundation will kickoff the bond promotion with staff on January 21st. Clark Enersen Partners will be here on Wednesday to work with us on building concepts and promotional materials.

4. Early Retirement Eligibility: We updated the list of teachers meeting the minimum age of 55. In order to be eligible for state retirement, they must also meet the Rule of 85. In order to be eligible for an early retirement district incentive, they must also have a Masters Degree or equivalent and 10 years of service. If you have teachers who are 55 or older, and don't meet all of the qualifications of the early retirement policy, the board has considered partial incentives if the number of qualified candidates do not access the program.
