Over 30 years of retirement, Shenk would collect as much as $870,915, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Shenk received $18,306 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Shenk will have already received $56,582 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
