Over 30 years of retirement, Claypool would collect as much as $2.36 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Claypool received $49,637 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Claypool will have already received $153,423 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
