Over 30 years of retirement, Kingery would collect as much as $1.52 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Kingery received $31,898 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kingery will have already received $98,594 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
