TEACHERS' RETIREMENT.
The State Board of Education is required by state law to serve as a
public school teachers' retirement salary fund board. In the latter
capacity the State Board of Education is required to enact and enforce
all necessary and proper rules and regulations relative to the adminis-
tration of the state teachers' retirement salary funds. The Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction serves in ex officio capacity as secretary
of the retirement salary fund board. Miss Marion H. Ketcham is assist-
ant secretary and principal clerk of the board.
The retirement salary fund board holds quarterly meetings. Its
policy is to limit its activities and regulations to the securing of an
efficient administration of the state teachers' retirement law. A clerical
force is maintained for the purpose of administering the retirement
salaries, maintaining teacher records, and development of statistical data
relative to the work.
