Update from ORTA Executive Director, Robin Rayfield:

The STRS Board of Trustees met on September 16, 2021. ORTA provided a live stream to the meeting on our Facebook page. Items of note that were included during the meeting included: STRS healthcare programs remain strong. The claims are low, even in the non-Medicare groups. With low claims the STRS staff are recommending a $300 premium rebate for STRS members that take insurance from STRS.







Update from ORTA President, Kara Mendenhall:

Hello to all ORTA members!


It is with great relief that I

watched the calendar change to autumn this week. The heat, and especially the humidity of the recent past, seemed to literally drain energy from me. Even though the cooler temperatures have been accompanied by rain, it is a welcome relief from the swelter. The yellow soybean fields seem to be the only fall color evident so far, but leaves have begun to fall!











 

STRS Ohio Board member Rudy Fichtenbaum, and former Board member Wade Steen, are incurring legal fees, defending themselves against the lawsuit brought against them by A.G. Dave Yost. ORTA will use donations from the Pension Defense Fund to help them, if needed, pay their legal expenses. They have volunteered their time to support Ohio's teachers. Now it's time for us to show our support for them! Make a donation today to the ORTA Pension Defense Fund
