Former state school employee David Parker, who retired in June 2018, saved $170,712 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Parker would collect as much as $3.33 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Parker received $70,005 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Parker will have already received $216,378 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
