Over 30 years of retirement, Schneidereit would collect as much as $964,549, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Schneidereit received $20,274 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Schneidereit will have already received $41,156 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
