A total of 12 school district employees submitted their application on Friday to take advantage of the district’s exit incentive. Another turned in paperwork on Monday. Linda Maeker, whose resignation was accepted by the Board of Trustees in February, is also eligible for the offer. The $10,000 incentive for term contract employees with at least 20 years of service in education to tender a resignation was offered to staff members via an email on Friday, Feb. 25. Applications were made available about a week later, and the date of Friday, March 11 at 6 p.m. was set to accept them. For more information, see the March 17 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald.
