Over 30 years of retirement, Droste would collect as much as $3.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Droste received $72,266 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Droste will have already received $223,367 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
