COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio educators will keep their voices on the retired teachers' pension fund board for now due to an appellate court upholding a temporary block on a new state law that would have eliminated them. After this court loss, the Republican House speaker wants to remove judicial power to prevent one county's judges from determining statewide law.
The state relies on teachers to educate the next generation of leaders.
"We all take part in helping children to grow and to benefit and hopefully flourish in their lives," retired teacher Mary Binegar said.
And half a million active and retired teachers like Binegar rely on the State Teachers' Retirement System (STRS) to help take care of them when their teaching days are done.
