The board of directors of a school district may adopt a program for payment of a monetary bonus, continuation of health or medical insurance coverage, or other incentives for encouraging its employees to retire before the normal retirement date as defined in chapter 97B. The program is available only to employees between fifty-nine and sixty-five years of age who notify the board of directors prior to March 1 of the fiscal year that they intend to retire not later than the next following June 30. An employee retiring under this section shall apply for a retirement allowance under chapter 97B or chapter 294. If the total estimated accumulated cost to a school district of the health or medical insurance coverage, bonus, or other incentives for employees who retire under this section does not exceed the estimated savings in salaries and benefits for employees who replace the employees who retire under the program, the board may include in the district management levy an amount to pay the costs of the program provided in this section.
