Over 30 years of retirement, Girard would collect as much as $2.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Girard received $59,756 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Girard will have already received $184,700 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
