Over 30 years of retirement, Schrup would collect as much as $69,918, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Schrup received $1,469 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Schrup will have already received $4,540 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
