The UEA Legislative Team

The UEA Legislative Team empowers public school classrooms and works with lawmakers to shape policy.

The UEA Legislative Team is more than a group of advocates; they are your partners in advocacy.

With a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities public educators face, this dedicated team navigates the complex world of policymaking, tirelessly working to ensure that the interests of students and educators remain at the forefront.

The team actively promotes the UEA Legislative Platform, a reflection of the consensus reached by members at the UEA House of Delegates. This platform is not just a set of principles; it's a testament to the collaborative effort of public school educators across the state, striving for an educational landscape that benefits students and empowers teachers.
