Over 30 years of retirement, Schuldt 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 Schuldt received $71,004 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Schuldt will have already received $219,466 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
