Over 30 years of retirement, Dennard would collect as much as $1.65 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Dennard received $34,665 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dennard will have already received $107,146 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
