In 1941, the Ohio General Assembly established the Highway Patrol Retirement System (HPRS) for troopers and communications personnel employed by the Highway Patrol. Today, membership in HPRS is limited to troopers with arrest authority and trooper cadets in training at the Highway Patrol Training Academy. The system provides age and service, disability, survivor, and death benefits, as well as health care coverage for benefit recipients and eligible dependents. HPRS receives funds from three sources: 1) employee contributions, 2) employer contributions, and 3) investment returns. These funds are used to pay benefits and expenses of the System. All funds are placed in income-producing investments that follow the guidelines in Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5505. The Retirement Board makes investment decisions on the recommendation of the Chief Investment Officer and outside investment advisors. Each year a detailed financial statement, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, is prepared for all interested parties. This comprehensive report is based on audited records and contains a detailed listing of all investments. As of August 31, 2018, HPRS had estimated assets of $912 million.
The Department of Education serves as the single repository of education data from school districts, state and community colleges, universities, and independent postsecondary institutions - allowing us to track student performance over time and across varying education sectors. We administer a statewide reading initiative for Florida`s public schools, and among community groups and volunteer organizations that support them, with a goal of having every child able to read at or above grade level. Serving nearly 2.7 million students, 4,200 public schools, 28 colleges, 192,000 teachers, 47,000 college professors and administrators, and 321,000 full-time staff throughout the state, the department enhances the economic self-sufficiency of Floridians through programs and services geared toward college, workforce education, apprenticeships, job-specific skills, and career development. The department manages programs that assist individuals who are blind, visually-impaired, or disabled succeed either in school settings or careers - encouraging independence and self-sufficiency.
Growing up in the small town of Camden in Wilcox County and working on her father`s farm taught Governor Kay Ivey to value hard work and living within one`s means. Her parents instilled values of faith, family, and community. After graduating from Auburn University in 1967, Kay worked as a high school teacher and a bank officer. She served as Reading Clerk of the Alabama House of Representatives under Speaker Joseph C. McCorquodale and Assistant Director of the Alabama Development Office, where she worked to spur job creation and economic development across the State. In 2002, Governor Ivey became the first Republican elected State Treasurer since Reconstruction and was re-elected in 2006. As Treasurer, Governor Ivey was committed to making the office more open, transparent, and efficient. Governor Ivey was elected Lieutenant Governor in 2010, becoming the first Republican woman to hold the office in Alabama`s history. She again made history on November 4, 2014, by becoming the first Republican Lieutenant Governor re-elected to the office. She has taken on several initiatives to grow jobs, address child hunger, and increase STEM education. As Chair of the Military Stability Commission, she is leading the first statewide coordinated effort to secure and strengthen Alabama`s military assets ahead of any potential base or force realignments. She also serves as national chair of the Aerospace States Association. On April 10, 2017, Governor Ivey was sworn in as the 54th Governor of the State of Alabama in the Old Senate Chamber in the Alabama State Capitol by Acting Chief Justice Lyn Stuart. She believes if you campaign as a Conservative for office, then you should govern as a Conservative in office. Kay Ivey will continue to bring conservative leadership with effective results to make this generation more productive and the next generation more prosperous.
