Don't you wonder how STRS can dole out MILLIONS in astronomical salaries and bonuses to the favored members of their staggering payroll when their investment returns are hardly worth writing home about? Check out this chart!; we aren't at the top!

How Many Assistants Are Too Many Assistants?

I want to share with you something that I shared with my fellow active/retired teachers. YOU DO have a "dog in this fight" as 14% of teacher salaries that go to the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio each year are from public taxpayers! The other 14% is matched by each teacher.

Below is the Fiscal Year salary schedule of some of Ohio STRS employees that your money goes to.

Did you notice how many "Assistants" are on YOUR payroll? You might want to share this with another Ohio taxpayer.

Get a load of THESE salaries!! Wait till you read the second chart on their investment performance for STRS. Teachers, it's YOUR hard-earned money paying for all this!!!

Here is a live link that is mentioned at the top of Page 4 (but isn't live there): https://commonsense401kproject.com/2025/08/22/ohio-medias-complicity-how-a-fake-scandal-hid-the-real-teacher-retirement-system-corruption/ I also posted it on this blog on September 28, though it was first published in late August: Ohio Media’s Complicity: How a Fake Scandal Hid the Real Teacher Retirement System Corruption

On Page 3 of the article below is a reference to the salaries of STRS employees; you get an idea of some of them at the bottom of Page 1. If I can get the full list, and it's in a format I can blog, I will post it later. 

A small sample of salaries and bonuses (PBIs) at STRS; hope you're sitting down.
