Boston Teachers Pensions Plan Debated At Club Meeting
The Boston School Board proposes a pension plan for teachers aged 18 to 65 funded by 1 to 10 percent salary contributions and a 5 cent tax per thousand dollars of city property. Actuary William Smith of John Hancock bases it on insurer mortality tables for annuities, with possible partial refunds upon marriage or job loss. School Board members Ellis and Brock defend the plan as necessary given 2500 teachers and no current funds, while some teachers and Professor J T P Tupper critique and suggest alternatives.
