Over 30 years of retirement, Beard would collect as much as $3.83 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Beard received $80,509 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Beard will have already received $248,845 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
