Over 30 years of retirement, McDonald would collect as much as $919,196, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes McDonald received $19,320 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, McDonald will have already received $59,717 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
