Over 30 years of retirement, Van Slyke would collect as much as $1.58 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Van Slyke received $33,144 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Van Slyke will have already received $102,444 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
