Over 30 years of retirement, Jurgens would collect as much as $1.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Jurgens received $21,679 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Jurgens will have already received $67,007 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
