Mt. Prospect SD 57 School Marms Threatened Strike: Teachers' Salaries Listed

Mount Prospect School District 57 says its 160 teachers educate 2,000 students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in that Northwest Chicago suburb.

That taxing body operates Westbrook, Fairview and Lions Park elementary schools and Lincoln Middle School.
Mt. Prospect School Marms
Shakedown For More Cash

These 160 government employees just threatened to go on strike arguing that they weren't pulling down as much cash as their fellow unionized counterparts in nearby suburbs.

But a glance at the actual salaries of these Mt. Prospect grammar school employees suggests that they weren't doing too badly at all.

In fact, they were doing quite well when you consider that most of them work only 9 months, have gold-plated pension and health care plans and got their degrees from the slums of academia -- schools of education.

Word now is that the SD 57 school board has reached an "agreement" on salary and pension issues. Given the strangle-holds that the powerful, leftist IEA unionists have on most school boards, that means that the board -- supposedly the taxpayer's advocate --has caved in to their demands.

Just take a look at the actual teachers and administrators salaries. They aren't at all paltry for grammar school marms. Here in the wintry throes of a seemingly never-ending economic recession, these militant government employees are doing a lot better than a lot of the taxpayers from whom, they once again, extorted more cash.

Printed below are the names and salaries of all the employees of Mt. Prospect SD 57. These salaries are the latest available and were obtained via a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by the Family Taxpayers Foundation.


Among the highlights:

--  A Gym teacher pulling down $91k
--  A $90k Elementary school Spanish teacher
--  $87k for teaching reading to grammar school students
--  A $76k social worker

  1. They get 85% of the average of their last 3 years salaries as a pension and they get free health care with that - for the rest of their lives. Also - they always pump up their salaries in the last 3 years to get more.

    1. Just talked to an Evanston cop who pays a lot more into his retirement plan than these teachers and will only ever collect 50% of his salary in pension. These teachers will get more like 80% -- they pay in a lot less -- and now they've driven the state onto the verge of bankruptcy.

      This school board should be tarred and feathered for selling out its property taxpayers like this.

  2. Anonymous author. You make the claim that these professionals received their education at "got their degrees from the slums of academia -- schools of education." I earned a Master's Degree from a prestigious school in Chicago majoring in Public Policy. I am not qualified to teach elementary school. Perhaps you can share with your qualifications to teach elementary aged children, possibly ones with learning disabilities?

    1. Actually, if you'd bothered to go to the link, you'd find that it was Prof. Walter Williams who made that claim, but anyone who's actually taken a course in a School of Education at any university will know that it is rife with grade inflation and populated by nitwits.

      As to your qualifications to teach school, I cannot say, but at Sidwell Friends, the elite school in Washington, DC where Barack and Michelle Obama send their precious darlings, they do not hire people with mere degrees in education. They hire people with advanced degrees in math to teach math, people with degrees in English to teach English, etc. -- what a concept!!

      Funny that big supporters of teachers' unions and the government education morass, like the Obamas, Jesse Jackson, the Al Gores, won't send their own kids to public schools. They know they stink and are beneath the demands of the Liberal elite classes.

    2. Don't forget Rahm - big fan of NEA when he was in Congress and when working for Obama. Now he sends his 3 kiddies to the ultra elite U of Chicago lab school. What's that cost? maybe $30 k a yr for grade school. And how many Chicago public school teachers send their own kids to privte and Catholic schools- I heard around half, so they need pay raises so they can afford private school tuition for their own kids. wht hypocrites.
