Starmont Board approves early separation incentive for long‑serving certified staff
Summary
The Starmont Community School District board approved an early separation incentive for certified staff with at least 20 consecutive years of service who will be 55 or older by June 30, 2026, and set a participation deadline of 4 p.m. Feb. 27, 2026.
The Starmont Community School District Board on Jan. 12 approved an early separation incentive for eligible certified staff intended to encourage retirements among long‑serving employees.
Julie Uhlenkamp moved to approve the incentive for certified staff with at least 20 consecutive years of service who will be 55 years or older by June 30, 2026; Nathan Meyers seconded. Board Member Jacob Moellers successfully moved to amend the motion to add a deadline, specifying that staff must commit “no later than 4:00 p.m. on February 27, 2026.” The amendment and the amended motion each passed on 5‑0 votes.
Superintendent Robert Busch was in attendance but did not offer specifics in the meeting about the incentive’s financial terms or the number of positions expected to be affected. The board did not adopt additional budget details during the meeting.
The board’s vote establishes eligibility criteria and a sign‑up deadline; implementation details and any fiscal impacts will be determined during the district’s upcoming budget work and reported to the board later.
