    In order to find additional financial efficiencies due to the impacts of SEA1 2025, the Tipton Education Association and Tipton Community School Corporation created a Memorandum of Understanding creating a one-time a retirement incentive for certified staff.  The incentive includes a $50,000 incentive paid out over 5 years that can be used as a cash incentive or to cover the cost of an eligible TCSC  insurance package.  In addition, TCSC will buy-out up to 100 sick days at $100 per day.  The incentive is capped at the first eight participants unless mutually agreed to extend the incentive to additional certified staff.  The Memorandum of Understanding must be approved by the school board, then by Indiana Education Employment Relations Board (IEERB).
