Dear Dr. Zelman,

Steven Puckett is nonresponsive to members and displays the same closed minded decisions as he did during the old STRS era. He goes along with most votes and rarely questions anything. He is a poor example of the openmindedness of educators and I request a change of appointee. He does not question procedure when lack of it is clearly evidenced in order for all board members to be heard. Puckett has been on the board for far too long and the STRS board needs a fresh face with an ability to see all sides of an issue, enter discussion on issues and question when he witnesses improper actions of the Chair and Vice Chair before voting. The Chair and Vice Chair have seemingly violated board members rights, taken on decisions by himself when he had no rights to do so. Pucket has not acted on this and therefore not acted solely on behalf of membership: ORC:3307.15.
