Over 30 years of retirement, Van Dyke would collect as much as $1.69 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Van Dyke received $35,443 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Van Dyke will have already received $109,550 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
