Over 30 years of retirement, Sellers would collect as much as $1.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Sellers received $21,687 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Sellers will have already received $44,025 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
