Over 30 years of retirement, Hairrell would collect as much as $1.9 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Hairrell received $39,895 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hairrell will have already received $123,312 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
