Former state school employee Ronda Schiess, who retired in May 2018, saved $101,615 toward a pension over 22 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Schiess would collect as much as $1.97 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Schiess received $41,397 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Schiess will have already received $127,954 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
