Over 30 years of retirement, Ellett would collect as much as $3.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Ellett received $80,080 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ellett will have already received $247,518 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
