Over 30 years of retirement, Holly would collect as much as $2.53 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Holly received $53,217 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Holly will have already received $222,641 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
