Bridgeport Teachers Consider One Percent Pension Deduction
Bridgeport public school teachers will vote November 7 in a state referendum on an added one percent pension deduction. School Superintendent Dr. Joseph E. Jeffery outlined details to the Board of Education, naming Asst. Supt. John J. McFarland as administrator for the local vote. Ballots will be mailed unopened to Hartford with results announced there. The extra deduction would fund survivors' benefits and could be paid upfront or at retirement, raising total deductions to six percent starting January 1 if approved. The board also filled several staff positions, accepted Lorraine Hochman’s resignation, and moved to designate polling places for the November 5 city election.
