Over 30 years of retirement, Duckworth would collect as much as $2.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Duckworth received $46,687 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Duckworth will have already received $144,306 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
