Ryan Holderman: Proposed constitutional amendment

From Ryan Holderman, January 5, 2007
Re: Proposed Constitutional Amendment

There is an amendment to the CORE Constitution up for consideration:

PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
ARTICLE IX - POINT 4

Article IX, Dissolution of the Organization, point 4 which currently reads:

4. All remaining monies held by CORE, after expenses have been met, will be dispersed by the Board of Trustees to retired teachers with health care needs.

Shall be amended to read:

4. All remaining monies held by CORE, after expenses have been met, will be donated to the Ohio State Teachers Retirement System’s Health Care Assistance Program which has been established to provide financial aide to those retirees whose pension income meets the requirements established by STRS.

Notice of that agenda item should probably have gone out with the CORE Alert we received today.

According to the CORE Constitution:

"...amendments will be placed on the agenda for the next regular meeting of CORE and notification of the consideration of the amendment will be sent to members via the CORE E-mail Alert system.

Voting to ratify the proposed amendment shall take place at the second regular meeting after it has been presented to the Board of Trustees."

That would take place at CORE's February meeting.
