Retired BYU administrator seeking state House seat
9 comments | Read story
Besides that, why would I trust a school administrator to raise teacher pay? Aren't they the reason why the $7,500 we're currently spending per student isn't making it into the classroom?
D'OH!! ;-)
Utah's teacher retirement program, negotiated over the years by the UEA, has put Utah's teachers in a box. Because of the required contributions to the retirement program, less money is available for teachers salaries in the very years they are rearing their families and their cash needs are high. When they retire and their cash requirements are lower, most of them earn more from social security and the state retirement program than they were earning in their final years as teachers.
