Over 30 years of retirement, Roche would collect as much as $1.88 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Roche received $39,594 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Roche will have already received $122,381 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
