Over 30 years of retirement, Surratt would collect as much as $1.68 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Surratt received $35,261 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Surratt will have already received $108,989 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
