Over 30 years of retirement, Whitehead would collect as much as $963,350, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Whitehead received $20,248 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Whitehead will have already received $84,709 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
