East Hampton board approves two‑year retirement‑incentive memorandum with teachers association
Summary
The East Hampton board approved a walk‑on memorandum of agreement with the East Hampton Teachers Association establishing a two‑year retirement incentive; district leaders said the incentive is intended to give teachers and the district time to plan staffing changes.
The East Hampton Union Free School District Board of Education approved a walk‑on resolution authorizing the president of the board to sign a memorandum of agreement with the East Hampton Teachers Association concerning a two‑year retirement incentive.
District administrators said the incentive is intended to provide additional planning time for the district and for teachers who might consider retirement in the near term. "...it would allow us more time to, you know, look at how we place staff," a district administrator said during the discussion, adding that the incentive gives staff more time to consider next steps.
Board members moved to approve the walk‑on item to allow the district and teachers to plan for anticipated staffing changes; the motion was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. No roll‑call tally or individual vote record appears in the meeting transcript.
The resolution as read authorizes the board president to sign the memorandum of agreement on behalf of the board. The board did not read financial details or eligibility criteria for the incentive into the meeting record; those specifics were not provided in the transcript and therefore are "not specified" in this report. The board took the vote during the same meeting and approved the walk‑on so that the district can communicate options to staff in advance of the next school year.
