Over 30 years of retirement, Gray would collect as much as $396,630, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Gray received $8,336 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Gray will have already received $34,875 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
