The Illinois House passed a bill April 8 that would exempt teachers who take on extra classes and extracurricular work from a state pension penalty that has cost some school districts hundreds of thousands of dollars. State Rep. Steve Reick sees the bill as chipping away at limitations placed on school districts to prevent salary spiking and out-of-control pension costs.
