Early Retirement Apps Approved by School Board; 17 Affected

The Burlington School Board this week approved the early retirement applications of 10 teachers…two administrators…a bookkeeper…a custodian…and three associates.

The 17 total departures will reportedly amount to a two-year savings to the district of about $285,000 in salaries and benefits.

To qualify, an employee must be 55 by the end of June and have 10 years of service in a row with the Burlington District.
