Over 30 years of retirement, Grove would collect as much as $288,803, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Grove received $6,070 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Grove will have already received $12,322 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
