For some West Virginia teachers it's a day worth celebrating.

The vote to return to the old retirement pension system passed by an overwhelming margin, 78 percent.

In the early 1990's, a 401K style retirement system was formed for school employees.

Many switched over, but they ended up losing money.

The results of a recent vote to return to the old pension version were announced and teachers can switch back if they desire.

They will receive 75-percent of what they should have earned.

Anyone who wishes to remain with the 401K style plan do not have to change.
