Blade Editorial: Unions not the issue
Ohio Retirement for Teachers Association
Fighting for Ohio's teachers since 1947!
ORTA advocates for the pensions and benefits of Ohio's active and retired educators; demands accountability from the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio; and lobbies Ohio's legislators to provide a strong and sustainable retirement system for all Ohio educators, Pre-K through higher education. We rely on membership dues to continue our work.
ORTA Chapter of the Month
Licking County is the home of Blackhand Gorge State Nature Preserve and the Licking County Retired Teachers Association. "Our affiliation with ORTA strengthens our voice. Because of information available to them, many of our members are politically active regarding STRS benefits and any legislation affecting them."
May 6th is the last day to vote for Michelle Flanigan for STRS Ohio Board

Each eligible voter is assigned a distinct EVN (electronic validation number) that prevents duplicate voting. Your EVN is printed on your ballot.

"These people, the retired teachers and active teachers, have been waiting a long time for change. Change is here, change is now, and change is going to happen, and they're trying to stop change, and they're not going to stop change. Change is coming." - Wade Steen, STRS Ohio Board Member, Reinstated April 18, 2024
