Hefty Price Tag on Pensions for Retired District 211 Employees

In 2012, 42.5 percent of District 211 retirees received six-figure pension payments.

Retired educators from District 211 are taking home pensions that are much higher than most educators in other districts across the state. 

In 2012, 42.5 percent of District 211 retirees received over $100,000 in pension payments while the 630 total district retirees received an average pension of $86,982, according to the Daily Herald. 

While six-figure pensions make up seven percent of the total pension payments in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties, less than one percent of retired educators in the remaining Illinois counties bring home that amount, according to the Daily Herald
