The passage of the Teachers’
Retirement Bill marks a step for
ward in the improvement of the
status; of teachers in the Territory
of Alaska. This is an Act to pro
; vide payment of retirement salar
' ies to teachers; to provide for the
establishment of a fund for that
purpose, to provide for its admin
; istration by a Board of Control
and to create a system of contri
bution to the said fund.
Every certified teacher who has
| taught school twenty-five years,
of which period at least fifteen
years have been spent in the pub
lic schools of the Territory or the
University of Alaska, shall be eli
gible to retire from active teach
ing service, and upon reaching
the age of fifty-five shall be en
titled to receive a retirement sal
ary of $1200.00 per year. Another
of the eligibility requirements is
that a teacher must pay into the
retirement fund an amount equal
h to twenty-five times ninety dol
' lars (25 x $90), and all teachers
1 are given credit for service ren
1 dered the Territory to the estab
| iishment of the Retirement Sys
| tern.
The Retirement Fund is created
jointly by the teachers of the Ter
ritory, the incorporated cities and
the Territory. Ninety dollars per
year is contributed by each teach
er—this sum is deducted by the
✓ employer pro rata on a monthly
basis. Contribution by the Terri
tory is by special appropriation of
forty-five dollars annually per
teacher until a $100,000.00 reserve!
has been accumulated. Incorpo-1
rated cities pay in twenty-two
and one-half dollars per year for
each teacher in the city schools—
This sum is deducted by the Com
mission of Education semi-annu
ally from Territorial Funds due
the city.
There is also a contribution to
this Retirement Fund from the
School Tax Fund, of twenty-two |
and one-half dollars per year for
each teacher, and a similar con
tribution from the Rural School
Fund for each rural school teach
ers. Retirement salaries will be
paid any time after October 1, j
1946 to those who are eligible.
Any teacher who has been a
contributing member for three or
more years, upon leaving the pro
fession, or leaving the Territory
before receiving any retirement
salary, will be entitled to a re
fund of sventy-five per cent of
contributions paid into the retire
> ment fund. This fund is to be ad
^ ministered by the Territorial
School Board.
