Over 30 years of retirement, Jesse would collect as much as $1.53 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Jesse received $32,066 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Jesse will have already received $65,094 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
