Membership in the system includes public school teachers and administrators and college and university faculty. The general administration and management of STRS is vested in the State Teachers Retirement Board. The Retirement Board consists of five active teachers, one retired teacher and three ex officio members. Teacher members are elected to four-year terms by members of the Retirement System.
Board members serve without compensation other than actual, necessary expenses.
As a member of STRS, you make contributions to the system through payroll deductions. An STRS annual statement for the previous year, ending June 30, is mailed to you during the last quarter of each year. For more information about the STRS Retirement check their web page.
