Over 30 years of retirement, Awalt would collect as much as $123,235, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Awalt received $2,590 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Awalt will have already received $16,753 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
