Over 30 years of retirement, McClurkin would collect as much as $3.31 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes McClurkin received $69,553 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, McClurkin will have already received $214,982 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
