Over 30 years of retirement, Schraeder would collect as much as $3.98 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Schraeder received $83,685 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Schraeder will have already received $169,881 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
