Additional documentation has been added to the “Teacher’s Resources” page of this website to provide information about retiring and your MTRS benefits. This process can be confusing and should be initiated at least 7 months in advance to insure you receive sick time buy back, if applicable, and gather the necessary documentation. MTRS has excellent video resources and often holds retirement seminars. Be sure to also visit their website at: https://mtrs.state.ma.us/.
