Syllabus

On petition for mandamus, challenging decision of respondent State Teacher Retirement System's decisions to cancel petitioner's scheduled appeal hearing and summarily terminate her disability benefits. R.C. 3307.48(D) authorizes board to define activities that constitute a \teaching service\ and thereby render claimants ineligible to receive disability benefits. Respondent's decision that presenting a short workshop about entrepreneurship to high school students qualified as a \teaching service\ was within its statutory and administrative discretion, and petitioner has not shown that respondents failed to perform a legal duty or that she has a clear legal right to the reinstatement of either her appeal hearing or her benefits. Writ denied.
