Over 30 years of retirement, Jarrett would collect as much as $1.49 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Jarrett received $31,263 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Jarrett will have already received $165,980 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
