LETTER: 'Illinois math' has led to chronic underfunding of teacher pensions

LETTER: ‘Illinois math’ has led to chronic underfunding of teacher pensions

POST BY:  Chicago Tribune  

— MUST BE A CHARTER! —

“Consistent underfunding is the reason that 80% of this year’s $4.5B contribution to TRS, or $3.7B, constitutes a payment on the unfunded liability. That eclipses the actual cost of teacher pensions for the year: $923M.”   — Dick Ingram, executive director, Teachers’ Retirement System

River Forest District 90 will pay 100 percent of teacher pension contributions – were teachers duped?

  Although the agreement described below mIght sound like a welcome relief to teachers, Gov. Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda pushed a local property tax freeze (pg. 9) and municipal bankruptcy (pg. 12) that may allow local municipalities to declare bancruptcy.

A Day Without Immigrants

A Day Without Immigrants

As an educator, I was saddened on My Day Without Immigrants. Our President’s policies have faces attached to them, and these faces were missing from my classroom.

    I noticed many missing faces in my classes Thursday, February 16, 2017.  When I asked my students during first period where the rest of my class was, they told me it was “A Day Without  Immigrants.”

There has been heightened concern…
