Over 30 years of retirement, Wood would collect as much as $1.65 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Wood received $34,605 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Wood will have already received $70,248 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
