Over 30 years of retirement, Lee would collect as much as $1.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Lee received $32,868 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lee will have already received $101,592 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
