    Her starting pension is roughly estimated to be at least around $129K and will increase 3% annually.

    A 3% annual returns results in the pension doubling after 24 years.

    Lifetime employee contributions are typically recouped within the first 2 years of retirement.

    A pension starting at $129K, with 3% COLA, after 24 years will payout a cumulative $4,574,245.

    In which case $258,000 in career employee pension contributions would have returned $4,574,245 in pension payout.

    $258,000 is 5.6% of $4,574,245.

    The exact lifetime employee pension contributions, 4 years of pensionable income used to determine final average salary, any exchange of unused sick days for years of service credit, years of service used in calculating the pension, and how the starting pension was calculated, can be obtained via FOIA request to the pension system, TRS, for any existing pension.

    The above figures are a ballpark estimate.

  3. As expected, the only basis for the analysis is the amount of money that teachers and administrators make and the pension system. Wouldn’t be great if educators worked for free? Absolutely no interest or concern in the educational philosophy, curriculum initiatives, school-community relations, or anything else related to the job of a school administrator.
