Over 30 years of retirement, Berryhill would collect as much as $2.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Berryhill received $57,000 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Berryhill will have already received $238,466 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
