Over 30 years of retirement, Burise would collect as much as $4.46 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Burise received $93,690 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Burise will have already received $289,587 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
