Over 30 years of retirement, Sijersen would collect as much as $892,581, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.
The projection assumes Sijersen received $18,761 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sijersen will have already received $57,989 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
