Changes proposed for public school teachers' retirement benefits

Changes in retirement benefits and qualifications for Ohio public school teachers have been approved this week by the State Teachers Retirement System board.
In a report by The Associated Press, public teachers "would pay a larger share of their retirement costs, work until they're older and see pension benefits cut under changes that aim to keep their primary pension fund solvent by saving $10.9 billion."
Ohio Education Association spokeswoman Michele Prater said the state's largest teachers' union does not support the plan.
