Over 30 years of retirement, Schawel would collect as much as $1.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Schawel received $24,555 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Schawel will have already received $24,555 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
