Over 30 years of retirement, Sherman would collect as much as $619,734, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Sherman received $13,026 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Sherman will have already received $13,026 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
