District staff has determined that it is in the best fiscal interest of the Sweetwater Union High School District and its employees to offer to eligible employees a retirement incentive.
Furthermore, the board of trustees, at their October 22, 2018, Board Meeting, approved an agreement with Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) for the purpose of making available a Supplemental Early Retirement Plan, supplementing STRS/PERS.
Resolution No. 4594, codifies the process and authorizes the district’s PARS Plan Administrator to execute the contracts, custodial agreements, and other legal documents related to the plan on behalf of the district, along with any additional actions that are necessary to maintain the district’s participation in the plan, as well as to maintain compliance of any relevant regulation issued.
Additionally, starting with Fiscal Year 2019-2020, the district will not engage in offering a retirement incentive to any district staff or group until the 2018-2019 SERP is fully paid.
This Board Agenda Item supports LCAP Goal 4, coherent and transparent systems, because it provides information on staff communication to employees regarding an early retirement incentive.
