There was a move in the Ohio Senate by the National Heritage Academies to EXEMPT charter school employees from being required to paying into STRS. This would open the door for more and more educators to be assigned to Social Security. This is another attempt to erode the financial stability of STRS. We have already begun the 2016 election campaigns for politicians at all levels of government. Now is the time to listen to what campaigns and candidates are promoting. Do your homework and fact check the positions taken by candidates and the issues presented by political parties. Political games are going to be played with our retirement system and our profession and the players are not required to always tell you the truth about their positions. You must do your homework and discover the truth yourself. This is another reason we need the voice of the Ohio Retired Teachers Association to be strong.
