6.4.1.7. Roger Peterson (ERIP Request)
Speaker(s):
Jill Gill
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Rationale:
Roger Peterson, a C-TEC teacher at the high school, informed administration before the cut-off date of February 15 letting me know that he wouldn’t have his application / agreement form handed in on time. He needed to meet with Nebraska retirement officials before he could make a final decision and his appointment wasn’t scheduled until after the February 15th date. He asked if the board would be willing to extend the timeframe. Administraton offered that if after talking Nebraska retirement he was still interested in the District’s ERIP program that I would address at that time. He has followed up and submitted application. We have met. He does meet the criteria for eligibility and has turned in his application / agreement form. He understands that it is the board’s prerogative if they want to deviate from the policy. Mr. Akins has been consulted and does feel that they would be able to find a suitable candidate to fill this position. The board did approve 5 ERIP requests in March and the policy states that participants in any fiscal year should not exceed 10.
