CalSTRS Seeks Higher Contributions

The California State Teachers’ Retirement System is hoping pension contributions by school districts, teachers and the state will go up.

The California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) is hoping pension contributions by school districts, teachers and the state will go up, Pensions & Investments reports. The increase may come as part of California Governor Jerry Brown’s pension reform proposal expected this month. School systems, teachers and the state, currently paying 8.25 percent, 8 percent and 2.017 percent, respectively, may have to contribute more. The contribution hike plan, which aims at purging the system’s $56 billion unfunded liability and prevent it from insolvency by 2045, will be subject to state legislature approval.
