Over 30 years of retirement, Lagerstedt would collect as much as $2.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Lagerstedt received $50,391 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lagerstedt will have already received $155,754 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
