Click here for information on  salaries/compensation packages for area school district employees.  Click here for  information on teachers' and administrators' pensions and pension calculator.  It is a real eye opener to see how much school employees' pensions are starting at age 55.  These pension are primarily funded by the taxpayer. Many teachers/administrators take out what they put into the system during the first 2-3 years of retirement.  The taxpayers fund the rest of their retirement. 

 

The legislators should consider solving the alleged "teacher shortage" and "under funded" pension system by having teachers retire at the same age as Social Security  which for many of the Baby Boomers has been moved up to age 67.  They should also do away with the current pension plan for all new hires and put them on Social Security with a 401k type retirement plan as the private sector has done.
