Ask Ohio State Teachers Retirement System for the records
Israel Bond purchases are not centrally reported, and this office has no public disclosure we can find. The only way to know is to ask. It takes one email, and the law is on your side.
To: [records officer of Ohio State Teachers Retirement System]
Subject: Public records request: Israel Bonds holdings
To the records officer of Ohio State Teachers Retirement System:
Under the Ohio Public Records Act (ORC 149.43), I request all records of purchases, holdings, sales, and maturities of bonds issued by the Development Corporation for Israel (Israel Bonds) or by the State of Israel, held by Ohio State Teachers Retirement System, including amounts, purchase dates, coupon rates, and maturity dates, from January 1, 2015 to the present.
I am a resident of Ohio. Please acknowledge receipt of this request and respond within the time required by law. If any portion is withheld, please cite the specific legal exemption and release all non-exempt material.
Thank you,

Act on Ohio's holdings
● Keep the pressure on
Tell Ohio Treasurer of State: no new Israel Bonds
This office is tracked as a current or suspected holder. Bond maturities are decision points, and sustained public pressure is exactly how Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Maryland won.
To: [office of Ohio Treasurer of State]
Subject: Do not reinvest maturing Israel Bonds
Dear Ohio Treasurer of State:
I am a Ohio resident writing about public funds invested in Israel Bonds (Development Corporation for Israel). These bonds are unrestricted loans to the Israeli government during its war on Gaza, and all three major credit rating agencies have downgraded Israel's debt since October 2023.
As these bonds mature, I urge Ohio Treasurer of State not to reinvest in Israel Bonds, and to publish a full public accounting of past and current holdings.
Thank you,
