Former principal Mary Weaver, who retired in December 2016, saved $152,530 toward a pension over 22 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Weaver would collect as much as $2.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Weaver received $58,928 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Weaver will have already received $182,141 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
