Robin Beebe's speech to STRS board

March 19, 2026 

My name is Robin Beebe. Retired Master's Degree teacher of mainly 4th Graders, 2nd Graders, Kindergarteners, a smattering of other elementary grades and eight summers of Migrant Education. 35 years. Fremont City Schools and Perrysburg Schools. Retired coming up on 17 years. Denied my full 3% COLA's. Denied approximately $120,000 and counting.

    I am still patiently waiting for KARMA to make her appearance at STRS. Maybe my following comments will help speed up her arrival. Justice is not always an open and shut case, sometimes we must work for it.

    "Be the change you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi

    "If not us, who? If not now, when?" - John F. Kennedy

    So, I choose NOW as the time for this PSA (Public Service Announcement) to my fellow active and retired Ohio teachers. My people. My tribe.

    Ohio's Primary Election will be held on May 5, 2026. The deadline to register to vote is April 6,2026 (coming up very soon). Ohio's General Election will be held on November 3, 2026. The deadline to register to vote is October 5, 2026.

 We active and retired Ohio teachers are 550,000+ strong. Think on this a moment. 1/2 MILLION STRONG. This is the chance to hold those in power accountable. This is the chance to change things . We must vote wisely.

    So, what are Ohioans voting on in 2026?
