Pension penalties drop, but some schools still owe over $100,000

May 18, 2014

Two of the largest suburban school districts paid six-figure penalties for giving pension-boosting pay hikes for retiring educators in the 2012-2013 school year, eight years after a state law was adopted to discourage schools from doing so. But another suburban school district, Schaumburg Township Elementary District 54, paid about $25,000 in penalties for the 2012-2013 school year -- far less than the year before, when it paid nearly half a million dollars, according to records from the state's Teachers' Retirement System.
