Over 30 years of retirement, Popovich would collect as much as $3.24 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Popovich received $68,085 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Popovich will have already received $138,213 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
