The Nevada Community School District board debated revisions to the district’s early‑retirement policy at its Dec. 1 meeting and approved a motion to move the retirement withdrawal deadline earlier and to remove the standing $100,000 cap for the current year.

Speaker 7 introduced the item and recommended shifting the retirement‑selection timeline earlier (to align with certified enrollment), and the board discussed whether to increase the cap, lift it entirely, or continue handling exceptional cases by waiver. Board members emphasized precedent: the district has sometimes waived the cap for management retirements in years with unusual retiree groups, and the policy’s percentage formula (e.g., 45% for certain positions) has created questions about parity between administrators and other staff.

Speaker 4 moved to: change the early‑retirement due date from Nov. 15 to Oct. 15, change the withdrawal deadline from Nov. 30 to Oct. 31, and remove the $100,000 cap for this year. The motion was seconded and the board voted by voice to adopt the change and to waive the second reading for this year; Speaker 1 announced the motion passed.

Board members asked staff to prepare levy and budget scenarios showing the fiscal impact of the change for review at retreat; administrators said the additional dollars (estimated in discussion at roughly $17,000 for the prorated population in this instance) would not materially change the overall levy and that unused funds return to the management fund if not spent.

The board recorded a clarification in the consent motion that the early‑retirement payout is 45% of annual salary for affected retirees this year. No formal roll‑call vote count was read into the record during the meeting; the audio record shows the motion carried by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
