Over 30 years of retirement, Burrus would collect as much as $1.48 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Burrus received $31,079 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Burrus will have already received $96,061 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
