Over 30 years of retirement, Dickinson would collect as much as $3.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Dickinson received $71,115 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dickinson will have already received $219,808 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
