Over 30 years of retirement, Boyd would collect as much as $435,223, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes SE Illinois News.
The projection assumes Boyd received $9,148 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Boyd will have already received $18,570 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
