Over 30 years of retirement, Parrott would collect as much as $1.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Parrott received $30,419 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Parrott will have already received $127,263 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
