Over 30 years of retirement, Shelton would collect as much as $78,824, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Shelton received $1,656 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Shelton will have already received $6,929 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
