@pernilleripp Solid pay increases and cola in retirement.

Vindicator: Please consider an investigation into these comments and help teachers who educated you, your family and, most importantly of all, the children of the state of Ohio.

Active teachers must work longer to make less in retirement because of the changes that were made a while back and they pay the highest percentage of their salaries (14%). Retired teachers have not received a COLA adjustment for the last five years.

There have been some major investment problems during this time which were kept secret for a few years. Check out the Panda investment which lost a half billion dollars and was just recently (2021) reported to the teachers.

[Melisa Carlson @mcarlson1968]

The benefits for ALL STRS employees include a fifty thousand dollar life insurance policy for even the lowest paid employee and this benefit increases substantially depending upon the position/salary held. Employees also have a $7500.00 yearly education reimbursement.

[Melisa Carlson @mcarlson1968]

I wish that someone in your paper would investigate the bonuses and salaries of the STRS employees to see where all of the money is going as it is not going to the teachers or other professionals who pay into this system.

[Melisa Carlson @mcarlson1968]

A one time 2% COLA fails drastically when compared to the YEARLY bonuses and salaries of STRS employees and investment staff.
Following is some background information on the STRS salaries: The top 200 (of 530) STRS employees earn between $100,000 to over $700,000 annually.

I started #ForgedByReading in car rider line this morning and couldn’t put it down. I try not to write in my books, but I’ve made an exception for @KyleneBeers and @BobProbst bc there’s so much I need to remember and be able to reference. 🙌
