Former assistant principal Mary Clancy, who retired in July 2018, saved $175,677 toward a pension over 30 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Clancy would collect as much as $3.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Clancy received $80,003 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Clancy will have already received $247,281 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
