Over 30 years of retirement, Reckard would collect as much as $3.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Reckard received $80,180 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Reckard will have already received $247,828 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
