Over 30 years of retirement, Simmons would collect as much as $188,450, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Simmons received $3,961 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Simmons will have already received $8,041 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
