Over 30 years of retirement, Day would collect as much as $1.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Day received $36,073 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Day will have already received $111,498 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
