Former assistant principal Karlen Lusbourgh, who retired in February 2016, saved $175,731 toward a pension over 34 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Lusbourgh would collect as much as $3.93 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Lusbourgh received $82,678 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Lusbourgh will have already received $255,549 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
