While STRS Ohio is legally separate from and fiscally independent of state and local governments, it operates under the guidelines of Chapter 3307 of the Ohio Revised Code (R.C.) as enacted by the Ohio General Assembly and the related Administrative Code Rules.
Contributing members are elected to a four-year term by members of the retirement system. Retired teacher members are elected to a four-year term by retirees receiving benefits from STRS Ohio. View Board Policies for more information.
Board members serve without compensation other than actual, necessary expenses.
