...Individual MPSERS pensions get a 3 percent annual cost-of-living increase every year. 
To illustrate the value of those increases, The Detroit News reported that former Forest Hills Public Schools Superintendent Jon Washburn was collecting $136,027 in 2011. 
That was then the second-highest school pension payout in the state. 
By 2016 Washburn’s payout had grown to $161,124, a $25,097 increase over a five-year period, making it the third highest in the state...
Here’s a list of the top eight MSPERS pensions as of 2016:
  • Albert Lorenzo, former president of Macomb Community College, $204,264
  • Thomas Svitkovich, former superintendent of Genesee Intermediate School District, $188,448
