Over 30 years of retirement, Schumaker would collect as much as $1.7 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Schumaker received $35,637 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Schumaker will have already received $110,150 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
