Over 30 years of retirement, Covert would collect as much as $247,909, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Covert received $5,210 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Covert will have already received $16,103 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
