I believe that was in the event a position is cut through reduction in force. I know it was discussed at some point that if the position was fully cut and there were not similar positions available for which one was qualified, then one could in a sense fully retire at 25 years. The calculations would be based on 25 years, so about 9% less in retirement than if one completed the full 30 years but there wouldn't have been the percentage reduction penalty.

I think this was discussed particularly when they were talking about cutting music, art, PE and such to accommodate class size reductions. There would not be a reduction across the board in years required and I'm not even certain if the "specials" are cut if they would qualify for 25 rather than 30. I think that is where the rumor came from, though.
