Over 30 years of retirement, Ward would collect as much as $3.98 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Ward received $83,730 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Ward will have already received $169,972 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
