Over 30 years of retirement, Carlton would collect as much as $670,516, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Carlton received $14,093 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Carlton will have already received $58,960 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
