Over 30 years of retirement, Meikle would collect as much as $1.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Meikle received $23,090 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Meikle will have already received $71,369 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
