Over 30 years of retirement, Gayton would collect as much as $1.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Gayton received $30,443 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gayton will have already received $94,096 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
