Massachusetts Teachers Pensions Urged by Board of Education
The Massachusetts Board of Education urges a state pension law for public school teachers with compulsory 30 year contributions of at least $35 yearly, matched by state pensions. It would require mandatory retirement at 70, optional at 65, and seeks state administration and uniform nationwide funding. The report highlights improving teacher efficiency and suggests funding partly from salaries. It notes current country schools and state-supported programs as successes and mentions Mike Flannery’s Balkan War talk in next Sunday’s Post.
