Over 30 years of retirement, Lawley would collect as much as $577,236, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Lawley received $12,133 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Lawley will have already received $24,630 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
