ALBANY — Newly retired New York City teachers and administrators took
home average annual pensions of as much as $87,945 last year, according

The data released by the Empire Center for Public Policy said the

schools was $43,701 in 2016.
By comparison, the average pension for those who retired with at least

was even higher for those with at least 30 years of experience —

The largest city school pension in 2016, according to the Empire
Center, went to Patricia Filomena, who retired in 2015 and a year later
