Over 30 years of retirement, Schroeder would collect as much as $3.53 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.
The projection assumes Schroeder received $74,186 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Schroeder will have already received $150,598 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
