Get The Facts:
Ohio teachers have the worst pension deal in the country.
The State Auditor reported in his 71-page Special Audit of STRS that high fees and underperformance cost the fund $90 billion of unrealized returns they could have achieved with a low-cost, fully transparent S&P 500 index fund.
STRS Needs New Leadership
“By any objective standard, STRS is broken. Just ask the half-million Ohio teachers who must pay more and work longer to get less in retirement due to years of mismanagement. Reformers like Michelle Flanigan will fight for teachers and their promised benefits.”
Dr. Robin Rayfield, Ohio Retirement for Teachers Association
