Over 30 years of retirement, Rose would collect as much as $812,494, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Southern Illinois News.
The projection assumes Rose received $17,078 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Rose will have already received $52,786 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
