CalSTRS: California State Teachers Retirement System


Take Note!

CalSTRS recommends that members meet with a regional counselor on at least three occasions.
  • A mid-career appointment should be scheduled once a member reaches five years of service credit.

  • The second appointment is recommended at or near the age of 55 or at the time the member reaches 30 years of service credit, for possible pre-election of an option.

  • At least three months prior to the actual retirement date, the member is advised to schedule the final appointment.

CalSTRS school-site workshops or individual counseling may be scheduled by school site or district office administrators by calling Sandy Boston or Owen Burgess at (661) 636-4880.
