Former assistant principal Maria Fresse Giffels, who retired in April 2016, saved $147,289 toward a pension over 23 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Fresse Giffels would collect as much as $2.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Fresse Giffels received $50,887 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Fresse Giffels will have already received $157,287 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
