Over 30 years of retirement, Schertz would collect as much as $3.66 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Prairie State Wire.
The projection assumes Schertz received $77,011 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Schertz will have already received $238,033 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
