Over 30 years of retirement, Herd would collect as much as $575,163, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Herd received $12,089 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Herd will have already received $50,578 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
