Dean Dennis, ORTA Executive Chair, talks to Jim Vail, Chicago Public Schools teacher and journalist, about the attack on Ohio's teachers and the attempt to destroy pension democracy.

Kick off the new year with practical steps that can help you stay organized, informed, and confident in 2026. Join ORTA and AMBA for a free webinar focused on smart health and money strategies designed for today’s retirees. We’ll walk through important updates for 2026, including Medicare changes, health coverage considerations, budgeting reminders, planning tips, and financial risks that retirees often face.

ORTA has created a new Facebook group to make Ohio's retired and active teachers aware of all of the opportunities available to them at our county chapters throughout the state. Chapters can submit posts about monthly meetings, classroom grants and student scholarships, volunteer opportunities, events and activities.
