Over 30 years of retirement, Drozdoff would collect as much as $4.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Drozdoff received $89,275 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Drozdoff will have already received $275,940 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
