Over 30 years of retirement, Scheele would collect as much as $1.51 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Scheele received $31,678 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Scheele will have already received $97,913 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
