Over 30 years of retirement, Kelsay would collect as much as $5.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Kelsay received $116,868 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kelsay will have already received $361,227 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
