Depends on the city/town. Teachers pay varies insanely and is based on number of years worked and education "upgraded" In our town MAX teacher SALARY was around $90K not including all the benefits like medical & Rx for life after working 25 years. Go into up to master + 30. Newark it's even higher due to battle pay but PENSION is nowhere near $100K for a fully vested (25 years) teacher at top pay level,. That's controlled by the State. They don't even give fully paid medical to new retirees anymore. That stopped about 15 years ago. Some NON-TEACHER retirees medical costs is MORE than their pension but still cheaper than paying out of pocket.
