Over 30 years of retirement, Strachan would collect as much as $2.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Strachan received $51,449 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Strachan will have already received $159,023 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
