Retired Teachers Face Pension Gaps in Kansas
Kansas teachers who retired before 1971 receive far smaller pensions than those under KPERS. An Ottawa Herald report notes a 91 year old former teacher in Topeka gets just $23 monthly, while pre 1971 retirees average $76. Post 1971 retirees under KPERS draw over $400 monthly for many, prompting Marle Hayden of Topeka to push for parity in the 1973 Legislature.
