Over 30 years of retirement, Docherty would collect as much as $2.18 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Docherty received $45,848 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Docherty will have already received $141,711 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
