Congratulations to our Lake Villa Council, Lake County Educator Nominees: Esther Garcia, Tom Forman and Joanne Becker.
A HUGE shout-out to Bryan Henley (Palombi) for being named the Lake County Educator of the Year for 2025.
LCFT would like to send a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to our very own, Yahaira Alvarez, Grayslake PRSP for earning 'Educator of the Year' in the Education Service Personnel category.
Your Union brothers and sisters are proud of you.
One of the most pressing issues facing our members is the disparity between the two retirement tiers in Illinois’ Public Pension System. While those in the Tier I system have multiple retirement options, including the ability to retire with full benefits at age 62 with just five years of service, members of Tier II are not so fortunate.
As your union, the LCFT & the IFT are your partners and advocates from your first day on the job until the day you retire – and beyond. One of the most important ways we work together is by helping you protect your retirement security.
