Former state school employee Carole Harvard, who retired in June 2018, saved $66,514 toward a pension over 14 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Harvard would collect as much as $1.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Harvard received $22,175 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Harvard will have already received $68,540 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
