Over 30 years of retirement, Courtney would collect as much as $1.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Courtney received $23,236 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Courtney will have already received $47,169 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
