Optimize Your Budget and Workforce for the Academic Year

07 Jan 2025

As we start the New Year and you start planning your 2025/26 budget, it may be time to consider how a PARS Voluntary Separation Incentive (VSIP) could benefit your district. 

Our unique, tax-deferred incentives are designed to proactively address fiscal and operational workforce challenges such as rising labor costs, budget cuts, and declining enrollment. 

  • Comprehensive model that includes plan design, analysis, implementation, employee communication, and ongoing support through the final participant benefit payment 
  • No-cost, in-depth analysis which forecasts the fiscal and budgetary impact of an incentive being offered based on current workforce demographics   
  • Design flexibility to meet each client’s specific needs and achieve the best possible outcomes   
  • Tax-Deferred 403(b) plan structure which, compared to cash/severance payouts, is less costly and more flexible, provides more distribution options, and brings added tax advantages/savings to participating districts and their employees. 

Our no-obligation analysis can be completed quickly and provides extensive insight into the impact that an incentive can have on your district over the next 5-10 years.
