Over 30 years of retirement, Jenkins would collect as much as $1.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Jenkins received $39,378 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Jenkins will have already received $121,713 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
