Robbie W. Wetzel worked with Decatur School District 61 from 1976/1977 to 2014/2015 when they retired.
In that time, they contributed $105,992 to their pension and have received $249,648 so far after their retirement.
They earned $86,537 annually at the time they retired.
A study by Andrew J. Rotherham at Bellwether Education Partners, said less than half of the U.S.’s millions of teachers receive any kind of pension. At issue is the standard teacher pension not accommodating teachers who move between school districts.
Rotherham said a sizable amount of teacher pensions are made in the last five years of a pension, approximately between 25 and 30 years of contributions.
Many U.S. pensions for public teachers aren’t as well-protected at 401(k) plans, according to Ryan Fralich with Teach For America. He pushed for more education to teachers about how their retirement funds are handled and more regulation.
The average teacher salary in the US is roughly $60,000 in 2019. Teachers just starting out can expect to earn less than $40,000, according to Melanie Weir with Business Insider.
