Alabama Educators Secure Statewide ‘Teachers’ Bill of Rights’

In May 2024, Alabama lawmakers passed SB157: known as the ‘Teachers’ Bill of Rights.’ Members of the Alabama Education Association (AEA) pushed for this bill, hoping that it will help to make schools safer for teachers and education support staff.

A report put together by the Alabama Education Association found school officials often take too little action to help educators when they experience physical or verbal abuse in their classrooms. This not only threatens the well-being of both staff and students, but also pushes talented educators out of the profession. “Teachers are at a breaking point,” AEA Executive Director Amy Marlowe said.

The ‘Teachers’ Bill of Rights’ addresses these issues by requiring specific follow up when students are sent out of the classroom for disruptive behavior. For example, principals must provide written notification of what type of disciplinary action is taken before a student can return to the classroom. If a student is excluded from the classroom two times in one semester, principals are required to hold a conference with the student’s family.

The ‘Teachers’ Bill of Rights’ lays out a process for families, educators, and school officials to work together in resolving cases of student disruption. This not only protects Alabama educators, but also provides more support for struggling students.

Alabama Education Association members were proud to champion this bill and to have their voices included in discussions of education policy. As a sign of the role they played in shaping this legislation, AEA members joined Governor Kay Ivey for its ceremonial signing.

Alaskans Rally for Public School Funding

2024 had a hopeful start for Alaska educators! In January, hundreds of passionate educators, parents, students, and community members rallied together in Anchorage to show their support for #RedForEd, public schools, and raising the Base Student Allocation (BSA), a key component of the state’s public school funding formula.

This support echoed in the state capital: SB 140, a multipart bill that increased public school funding by $246 million per year, passed both the House and Senate with flying colors, with only 3 votes in total against it.

Unfortunately, Governor Mike Dunleavy vetoed the bill in March, continuing his long legacy of ignoring the voices of educators, community members, and even his own Teacher Retention and Recruitment Task Force. While the legislature was unable to override this veto, Alaskans continued to show up throughout the year to make their support for public school funding clear:

• In April 2024, high school students organized a statewide walkout to protest the veto and call for more investment in public schools. Hundreds of students took part, from Utqiaġvik to Sitka to Juneau to Bethel.
• That same month, the Sitka School Board passed a resolution in support of SB 88, which would provide a defined benefit option for teachers and other public educators. They strongly urged the Alaska Legislature and the Governor to significantly and appropriately increase the retirement compensation to all teachers in order to decrease teacher turnover and increase teacher quality.
• In October 2024, voters in Fairbanks made their support for public education clear by electing a pro-student, pro-public education mayor and school board. NEA-Alaska president Tom Klaameyer stated that this electoral victory showed that Alaska voters will “continue to support candidates who prioritize public education over party.”

While the fight still continues for statewide increases in public education funding, there is clear momentum and community support behind Alaska educators, NEA-Alaska, and the state’s public schools. To more wins next year!

Tucson Educators Win Paid Parental Leave and More

After months of negotiating and organizing, members of the Tucson Education Association reached an agreement with the district that includes 12 weeks of paid parental leave for Tucson teachers and school staff.

The agreement also includes raises of $1,500-$2,500 raises for classroom teachers and certified staff, 1% raises for education support professionals (with an additional stipend for those who qualify), and a sick leave sellback policy, among other wins.

This victory comes from years of member organizing and a long-term effort to build educator power.

The demand for paid parental leave came directly from rank-and-file educators in Tucson who saw how difficult it was for new parents to stay in the district. Educators shared deeply personal testimony at a spring school board meeting about how hard it was for them to care for their families, fulfill their work responsibilities and make ends meet without any form of paid parental leave. And after organizing, campaigning and speaking out, Tucson educators won!

University of Arkansas Members Unite to Stop Job Outsourcing

The UA-Fayetteville Education Association (Local 965) represents University of Arkansas faculty, education service professionals, and student employees of the Fayetteville campus.

In February 2024, members of the university's custodial staff shared concerns with Local 956 about proposals to privatize their division, which would threaten their livelihoods and benefits.

Over the next month, Local 965 members showed support for their colleagues by publishing a resolution against privatization and by hosting a rally and march through campus. Members reached out to local media and secured coverage of the fight in several outlets, adding additional pressure to university administration.

On March 28, University of Arkansas Executive Vice Chancellor for Finance & Administration Ann Bordelon emailed campus leaders that the outsourcing plan was being dropped.

This victory shows the power of solidarity, collective action, and union voices, even in a state without collective bargaining rights.

Las Lomitas Educators Secure Fully Funded Health Benefits and Salary Increases

After three powerful and inspiring days on the picket line, Las Lomitas Education Association (LLEA) members secured a fair contract. These educators have struggled to make ends meet while working in richest place in the richest country in the world.

The new contract includes a 16-percent raise over three years and another a crucial improvement for the lives of members and their families – fully funded employee health benefits.

Las Lomitas parents and students were a welcome constant on the picket lines, offering hugs and support, and bringing food and refreshments. LLEA members canvassed neighborhoods after the second day of the strike, reaching out to the school community to explain the situation and ask for their support in reaching a fair agreement.

“This victory will bring much-deserved stability to our school communities. We made the powerful decision to go on strike and we won the contract we need to stay in the community we love serving,” said LLEA Co-President Jennifer Montalvo. “The support from our classified colleagues, parents, students, families and community members kept us moving forward to victory. Together, we remained united and steadfast in winning for our students today and future generations.”

Cherry Creek Paraeducators Win Union Election With Landslide Vote

In a historic vote, Cherry Creek School District (CCSD) paraeducators voted to form a union to collectively bargain their first contract.

Achieving near-unanimous approval with 98% of votes cast in favor, the new Paraeducator Association of Cherry Creek (PACC), a local affiliate of the Colorado Education Association representing 989 CCSD educators, will work with the district to negotiate for better working conditions to reduce chronic staff turnover of paraeducators and create safer and consistent learning environments for all students.

This win was made possible by the Cherry Creek Bus Assistants working with the school board back in 2022 to put a pathway in place for staff to organize a union, creating an opportunity for all educators to collaborate with the district.

“This has been a long time coming and life-changing for so many. By unionizing the Cherry Creek paraeducators, a movement has been ignited by passion, purpose, and a commitment to a brighter tomorrow. Our schools are the foundation of our community, and this is our opportunity to step up and elevate Cherry Creek’s excellence for all the students. We must always aspire to reach higher; our first step is to raise the bar for the Para Educator position,” said Barrie Alpert, a severe needs paraeducator Fox Hollow Elementary School.

PACC members join many other education support professionals in Colorado who have utilized collective bargaining to win job improvements for classified staff in our public schools. Unions such as the Boulder Valley Paraeducator Association and Jeffco Education Support Professionals Association have used collective bargaining to fight and win job benefits such as guaranteed hours, job protections, and meaningful raises. These much needed improvements help ensure stability in the workforce creating a more consistent and positive experience for our students.

When we organize and stand in solidarity, we win—and the members of the Colorado Education Association are leading the way!

Solidarity Saves Plainfield Schools from Budget Cuts

When union members come together, they can make a real difference. In Plainfield, Connecticut, educators organized and fought to pass a school budget that minimized cuts to education.

After the town's initial education budget failed at a vote May 20, the Board of Education was asked to find $790,000 in cuts. To stop more cuts, the members of the Plainfield Education Association organized and showed up at town meetings to rally for public school funding. Luckily, their efforts were enough to sway the day, and the Board of Education budget passed 249 to 74 at a second vote.

“Plainfield teachers are happy and relieved that the budget passed on the second round,” says Plainfield Education Association Public Relations Chair Chris Rusaw. “While we already lost some positions from cuts after the budget didn’t pass on the first vote, we’re happy to not lose any more staff.”

Their efforts show that when our union stands united, we can protect our public schools and ensure every student gets the resources they deserve.

Educators Secure Funding for Delaware Public Schools

In 2022, the Delaware Public Education Compensation Committee (PECC) was created to recommend an enhanced compensation structure for school staff. Members of the Delaware State Education Association (DSEA) advocated in support of increased compensation and—before PECC’s recommendations were even published—they secured a massive victory!

Governor Carney announced that his recommended FY24 budget would include a 9% pay increase for teachers and specialists and a 3% salary increase for all other school. Those salary increases were ultimately passed by the General Assembly and signed by the Governor in the FY24 state budget.

Following this historic victory, DSEA members continued efforts to further elevate compensation. The PECC ultimately recommended increases for all categories of school employees, including a pathway to $60,000 starting salaries by FY 28.

Thanks in part to the support of Delaware educators, Delaware General Assembly and Governor Carney approved raises in the FY25 budget that either met or exceeded the recommendations of the Public Education Compensation Committee.

This investment, won by the hard efforts of Delaware educators, will help to ensure that school districts can recruit and retain high-quality staff.

Florida Educators Stand Strong for Public Schools

Florida Education Association members are on fire, despite relentless anti-worker and anti-education attacks by state political leaders.

In 2023, Florida’s legislature passed a law requiring government employee unions whose paid membership drops below 60 percent hold a recertification vote. Educators showed widespread support for the Florida Education Association (FEA) as the law went into effect. In 2024, 22 out of 22 recertification votes went for the union!

FEA members continue to stand strong for public schools, reaffirming their unions, and driving big wins across the state: 23 out of 24 school funding referendums passed and most union-endorsed candidates won their elections. In another major victory, a U.S. District Judge ruled favorably on an ongoing lawsuit filed by the Florida Education Association, declaring that payroll deduction contract interference is unconstitutional and reinforcing that collective bargaining agreements must be honored.

• A $2,500 permanent salary step increase for classroom teachers and salary bumps of 4% for custodians, school nurses and bus drivers.
• The budget also includes $6.3 million allocated to provide free and reduced breakfast and lunch and a $200 million annual increase in pupil transportation funding.  The budget also provides $1.6 million for Pre-3 literacy screener tests.
• Pre-K funding to reduce class sizes from 22 to 20, increase salaries for Pre-K lead and assistant teachers, and allow state funding for classroom space for public school systems that offer Pre-K programs.
• $5.6 million to raise retirement benefits of bus drivers, cafeteria workers, custodians, and maintenance personnel who are in the Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS).

In addition to these budget items, educators successfully passed key pieces of legislature that:

• Doubled the paid parental leave that educators and state employees can receive for the birth or adoption of a child or when a child enters a foster home.
• Eliminated a cap in state law on retirement benefits for school bus drivers, cafeteria workers, food service staff, and maintenance personnel.

Hawai'i Teachers Win Expansion of Health Benefits for Dependents

Young adults across Hawai'i gained millions of dollars more worth of medical, drug, dental and vision coverage because of the advocacy of an Oʻahu teacher and his fellow union members.

In early 2024, Shannon Hill, a fifth-grade teacher at Iroquois Point Elementary, emailed the Hawai'i State Teachers Association raising concerns about a rule creating mismatched coverage for dependents of state and county government employees.

Previously, the EUTF required dependents of state and county employees and retirees who are between the ages of 19 and 24 to be full-time students to be covered under EUTF dental and vision coverage. This left many young adults without dental and vision coverage, despite still being covered for medical and prescription drugs.

This policy directly impacted Hill, whose 19-year-old daughter was dropped from dental benefits when her college status switched to part-time. This led to a gap in her dental care as they searched for private insurance options.

After hearing from Hill, Hawaiʻi State Teachers Association President Osa Tui, Jr. brought his concern to the Hawaiʻi Employer-Union Hawaii Benefits Trust Fund, known as EUTF, where Tui and fellow fund trustees approved a key policy change.

Starting in July 2025, dependents of state and county employees and retirees who are between the ages of 19 and 26 will no longer have to be full-time students to be covered under EUTF for medical, prescription drug, dental and vision coverage.

Together we can create change that benefits educators, students, and communities across the state!

Idaho Invests in Modernizing Outdated, Dilapidated School Buildings

Thanks to the efforts of Idaho Education Association members, safe and welcoming school buildings has been at the top of the political agenda. During this year's State of the State address, Governor Brad Little called to make funding for school facilities "priority No. 1."

While critics say the bill falls far short of addressing the full backlog of facilities needs facing school districts across the state and came with many strings attached, the legislation, House Bill 521, is a step in the right direction.

Paraprofessionals in Crystal Lake Win Better Pay

Paraprofessionals in Crystal Lake, Illinois, about an hour outside Chicago, were shocked when they learned administrators chose to hire expensive temps instead of investing in the people who put years into the district and love their jobs.

After they reported this discovery to their union, the Illinois Education Association discovered that an employment agency had been retained by the district to fill vacant paraprofessional positions. The district leaders’ decision to hire temps for more than double the hourly wage of some staff was an outrageous affront to these hardworking employees.

The district did this without notifying the union, let alone working with them to find other solutions to staffing shortages. Hiring a firm to recruit temporary employees without bargaining first is a direct violation of the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act (IELRA) and the Illinois School Code. So, the members of Crystal Lake Association of Support Staff (CLASS) sprang to action and filed an unfair labor practice (ULP).

And they won.

They successfully negotiated a $2,000 payment at the end of the school year; an immediate raise of $1 more an hour; a 5 percent raise starting in July; and an extra paid professional development day, so they can train alongside the teachers they work with.

This is just one example of how unions can hold their districts accountable and win better pay and benefits for their members.

Brown County Educators Win Salary Increase and More Paid New Parent Leave

There is a lot to love about living in the small, rural town of Nashville, in Brown County, Indiana.

But, for too long, schools had difficulty retaining educators who often left their communities to get higher pay in nearby larger cities. Steps had been mostly frozen for nearly two decades and a referendum to raise educator salaries failed in 2022.

Realizing that they needed to do something, members of the Brown County Educators Association came together with district administration, the school board, and other area unions to put another referendum on the ballot in May 2024.

This time, hard work, and on-the-ground organizing paid off. Not only did voters approve the initiative overwhelmingly, but educators were also able to negotiate a new contract that raised salaries by roughly 10% to 11%.

What is more, teachers are now able to get pay that better matches their experience. Veteran teachers moved up from one to four steps on the salary schedule. Additionally, educators can now receive 20 days of paid new parent leave.

These changes bring Brown County closer to the average pay in the state and go a long way to keeping educators in their community.

Iowa Educators Celebrate Landmark Recertification Victory, Strengthening Union Power

In October 2024, members of the Iowa State Education Association achieved a major victory by successfully passing the recertification vote in 93 out of 94 locals, securing their ability to negotiate Collective Bargaining Agreements. Despite the high bar set by the anti-union law passed in 2017 by Governor Kim Reynolds, which requires a 50 percent plus one majority of all employees in the bargaining unit, 99% of ISEA locals voted to retain their union.

"This victory is a testament to the commitment and unity of Iowa's public education professionals," said Joshua Brown, ISEA president. "It demonstrates that educators and public employees across the state want their voices heard, and they value the collective power of their union. As we continue to serve Iowa's students, we remain dedicated to ensuring quality public education for all."

Kansas District Partners to Empower Educator Voices for Retention Improvements

After years of advocating for the importance of educator voice, a Kansas district, its Board of Education, and the local Chamber of Commerce are taking a significant step to listen to educators. Through a partnership aimed at improving retention rates, they are visiting every school in the Olathe Public School District to hear directly from educators. These visits are a direct result of the hard work that went into electing pro-public education candidates to the school board and the collaborative efforts of local leaders.

Each school visit—called *Our District Dialogue*—is being led by a member of the local Executive Board, school board members, and district administrators. These discussions, focused on retention data and areas of improvement, are helping to shape future negotiations. Early successes include gaining new policies, such as PTO days instead of the confusing illness vs. personal leave policy. This ongoing collaboration shows that the district is committed to hearing from its educators, making this a major win for all involved.

Louisiana Educators Win Big on Policies That Prioritize Students and Educators

Educators in Louisiana are celebrating a series of legislative wins this year that will make classrooms more equitable and policies more aligned with the needs of students and educators. The Louisiana Association of Educators worked tirelessly to influence legislation this year, and their efforts paid off.

Key victories include the passing of HB 762, which gives career diploma students the option to take the WorkKeys or ASVAB test instead of the ACT starting in 2025, and HB 647, which ensures new student instruction mandates are offset by removing existing ones to balance workloads.

Additionally, HCR 44 directs the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) to create an appeal process for students unable to pass required End-of-Course (EOC) tests. Another major milestone is HB 424, which implements a 10-point grading scale, aligning public school grading with non-public schools and simplifying standards across the board.

These legislative wins reflect the collective power of LAE members and the importance of grassroots advocacy. By speaking up and influencing decision-makers, educators have ensured that Louisiana’s policies better prioritize student success and educator well-being, setting a foundation for a brighter future.

Maine Secures Historic Wage Hike for Support Staff

In a groundbreaking win for education support professionals, the Maine Education Association successfully championed legislation (LD 1064) to establish the first-ever minimum wage for hourly school staff, including education technicians. This landmark policy ties wages to the state minimum wage, with education technicians earning 125% and other hourly support staff earning 115%, effective in the 2025-2026 school year.

This victory follows a dedicated MEA-led advocacy campaign that included two impactful lobby days and a robust public relations effort. Members shared personal stories to demonstrate how low wages impede recruitment and retention of support staff. These testimonies, coupled with MEA's persistence, highlighted the critical role support staff play in ensuring the safety and success of Maine’s students and schools.

By aligning public school wages with inflation-adjusted minimum standards, this legislation ensures fair compensation for these vital workers while setting the stage for future progress in education equity.

Nebraska Educators Keep Public Dollars in Public Schools

Nebraska educators were determined that their state preserve their status as one of the few states in the country that does not authorize either charter schools or vouchers. That's why Nebraska State Education Association (NSEA) members and their allies in Support Our Schools Nebraska, a diverse coalition of parents, educators, students, and community members, submitted more than 86,000 signatures to the Secretary of State to put a referendum on the November ballot to repeal a private school voucher scheme passed by the state legislature.

While the law’s backers tried to block the referendum, the State Supreme Court unanimously refused to block the measure, allowing Nebraska voters to have a voice in school funding. Thousands of volunteers, many NSEA members, helped educate the public and get out the vote.

As the election drew closer, educators grew increasingly hopeful as polls showed widespread support for repeal. That optimism was not misplaced. After the votes were counted, repeal of the voucher scheme won with close to 60 percent of the vote, delivering a loud, clear message that Nebraskans want to protect and preserve public education.

New Hampshire Educators Overturn Law Censoring Honesty in Education

New Hampshire educators fought back against attacks on educators and honesty in education and won! NEA-New Hampshire (NEA-NH) members overturned a censorship law that limited educators from talking or teaching about race and racism, gender, sexual orientation, and disabilities but was never clear on what exactly educators could or couldn’t say.

New Hampshire educators who have been teaching in fear since the “banned concepts” law passed in 2021. The law was not just vague but also highly punitive.  It opened educators up to lawsuits from parents, and teachers found in violation could lose their state license.

That’s why NEA-NH and partner organizations filed a lawsuit to overturn the law. In May, a U.S. District Judge ruled that the law violates the Fourteenth Amendment and overturned the law. The ruling is the first decision in the country striking down a classroom censorship law that applies to K through 12 public schools.

This ruling is not just a victory for honesty in education but brings much needed relief for committed educators who want to validate the lived experiences of all students.

In 2023, the Board of Education, with guidance from the New Jersey LMC and CHEA, prioritized improving recruitment and retention despite state aid cuts. In June 2024, the board approved using $1.5 million from restored state aid to enhance certificated staff salary guides, making the district more competitive.

NMSU successfully petitions to unionize and join NEA

After four years of preparation, faculty across the New Mexico State University (NMSU) system petitioned for union recognition. On March 8, 2024, they submitted union authorization cards to the Public Employee Labor Relations Board in Albuquerque. Under New Mexico law, once a majority of employees in a defined unit signed authorization cards, union recognition became automatic. This move strengthened the collective voice of faculty, particularly amid frequent administrative changes and restructuring decisions made without faculty input.

By unionizing, faculty secured the ability to engage in collective bargaining, addressing concerns such as compensation, benefits, workloads, workplace safety, and grievance procedures. This initiative aligned with a national trend of increased union activity in higher education, bringing NMSU faculty into the 63% of university faculty statewide who were unionized, ultimately increasing the proportion of unionized faculty to 85%.

North Dakota educators join community organizers to defeat property tax cuts

North Dakota United, along with over 85 organizations, opposed Measure 4, a proposed constitutional amendment to eliminate property taxes in North Dakota. The coalition argued that the measure lacked a viable plan to replace the $3.15 billion in local revenue lost biennially, which would have jeopardized funding for public schools and essential services. They emphasized the importance of maintaining local control over budgets and cautioned against shifting financial responsibilities to the state legislature, which could have led to significant cuts in community services.

Ohio Educators Show What Solidarity Looks Like

Throughout the year, educators in Ohio have been raising their voices and winning for public school staff and students. From the bargaining table to the ballot box, Ohio Education Association (OEA) members have showed what solidarity looks like, and how it can improve our daily lives.

• East Palestine: In the wake of a devastating train derailment last year, the 76 members of the East Palestine Education Association (EPEA) succeeded in bargaining a fair contract that greatly benefitted the East Palestine educators and the students they serve. To achieve the EPEA’s goals, they activated a crisis team, communications committee and community outreach program which engaged members and garnered community support. This is what solidarity looks like!
• Mason: Mason Education Association (MEA) members stood strong with the support of hundreds of parents, students, and community members and secured a fair contract! In addition to salary increases, the contract includes 30 hours of Teacher Flex Time, allowing teachers to work, collaborate, and learn at their discretion, and introduces 12.5 hours of dedicated on-campus collaboration time. The contract also increases personalized professional learning and collaboration hours to 27.5 hours, up from 15 hours in the previous agreement.
• Bethel: Education support professionals (ESPs) in Bethel are now part of a new bargaining unit. BEST (Bethel Education Support Team) is negotiating their first CBA and are excited about being a part of OEA and becoming a wall-to-wall unit with the certified members of the Bethel Education Association (BEA).
• Stark County: After educator advocacy and the support of OEA members across the state, Lake Local Schools passed their levy in the May 2024 primary by almost 5% points, coming back from a levy failure in November 2023 of 13% points. This effort saved 23 union jobs and secured a long-term investment in Stark County schools.
• Springfield: Springfield educators came together to respond to the crisis created by negative and false comments made regarding the Haitian migrant community in the city. Springfield Education Association (SEA) members led the way in distributing 1,000 stress kit bags assembled by OEA staff and members.

Pro-Public Education Leaders Elected to Oklahoma State Legislature

An Oklahoma Education Association member and staff member were both elected to the Oklahoma state legislature this year, adding two powerful voices to advocate for public schools, students, and staff.

• Michelle McCane, a school librarian with 14 years of service to the Tulsa community, is the first woman to serve House District 72. A former board member of the Tulsa Classroom Teachers Association, McCane ran on a pro-public education platform: “I’m committed to advocating for policies that prioritize high quality education, support and retain our educators, and ensure every student can thrive,” McCane said. “My goal is to build an education system that empowers students and families, supports teachers, and strengthens Oklahoma’s future.”
• Oklahoma Uniserv Director Ellen Pogemiller won her race to become a member of the state legislature, representing District 88. Pogemiller participated in NEA’s See Educators Run program, designed to help educators run for public office. Pogemiller ran on a platform of funding public schools, increasing teacher pay, and teacher recruitment.

In addition to these victories, every one of the incumbent’s supported by OEA’s nonpartisan Fund for Children and Public Education (OEA FCPE) retained their seats, ensuring that pro-public education political leaders from both parties will stay in the state legislature. Overall, 67% of OEA FCPE recommended candidates won their seats. These electoral wins, especially in such political challenging times, prove that public schools, educators, and pro-education policies remain popular across partisan lines.

Student Teachers Win Big in Pennsylvania

Aspiring Educators in Pennsylvania will soon be eligible to receive a stipend while they participate in their student teaching placements, thanks to the advocacy of Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) members.

This new program, called The Student Teacher Support Program, will provide student teachers with $10,000 stipends for their 12-week placements, beginning in the 2024-25 school year. Student teaching in high-need areas that attract few student teachers will qualify a student to receive an additional $5,000. Student teachers receiving stipends, in turn, agree to work as educators within Pennsylvania for at least three years.

PSEA members worked together with a bipartisan group of elected officials to ensure student teachers are compensated and ease teacher and staff shortages across the state. This victory will help to recruit a more diverse education workforce, benefitting both students and staff!

After The SCEA Lawsuit, South Carolina Supreme Court Strikes Down Unconstitutional Voucher Law

In September, the South Carolina Supreme Court voted to strike down the private school voucher program enacted in 2023 by the state legislature and supported by Gov. Henry McMaster and Education Superintendent Ellen Weaver. The South Carolina Education Association (The SCEA) joined with parents and the South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP to file a lawsuit claiming that the voucher law would drain public funds from public schools and was unconstitutional.

The South Carolina State Supreme Court found in favor of the plaintiffs, stating, “After we clear away the window dressing, we can see the Act funnels public funds to the direct benefit of private schools. This is what our constitution forbids.”

The decision was "a great victory for public educators and families across the state who support South Carolina’s public schools," said The SCEA President Sherry East, who thanked "all who joined us to advocate the importance of investing in public schools rather than diverting critical funds away from them."

South Dakota Voters Preserve School Funding

South Dakota educators organized to protect public school funding and won! In a display of support, South Dakota voters defeated Measure 28 in November, which would have amended the state’s codified laws to prohibit taxes on “the sale of anything sold for human consumption, except alcoholic beverages and prepared food.” Had it passed, IM-28 would have resulted in substantial cuts to state funding for public education. Some estimated the cuts would have meant as much as $176 million annually in state revenues.

“The defeat of IM-28 once again demonstrates support for public education,” said Loren Paul, president of the South Dakota Education Association in the statement. “IM-28 should have slashed school budgets or made local property taxes skyrocket. We are grateful that voters took time to educate themselves on just how bad IM-28 was for South Dakota.”

Tennesseans Just Say No to Vouchers

In June, parents, educators, superintendents, and citizens in Tennessee helped defeat a bill that would have allowed all K-12 students to apply for a taxpayer-funded voucher program, regardless of income. Governor Bill Lee’s proposal would have drained millions of dollars from Tennessee’s public schools to send them to private schools.

“90% of Tennessee’s students are educated in public schools,” said Tennessee Education Association (TEA) President Tanya T. Coats. “We’ve seen a lot of bad voucher policies passed around the country, and none of them have lived up to the promise of benefitting parents and students.”

School boards in more than 50 counties across the state also passed resolutions against the governor’s voucher bill, which would have disproportionately impacted small and rural communities, potentially forcing school closures and curtailing subjects like art and music.

“Today my students and I can breathe a sigh of relief, along with parents and all the people who are employed by our schools,” said Paige Neill, an elementary school teacher in Hardin County in June when the bill was defeated. “A huge thanks to our lawmakers for realizing that vouchers aren’t what our students need, it’s investment in the schools they know and love.”

Texas Educators Win Salary Increases in Pflugerville

In Pflugerville, Texas, educators worked with the district board of trustees to secure salary increases for the 2024-25 school year.

Pflugerville Education Association members meet regularly with local leaders, including the board of trustees, to advocate for salary increases, arguing that professional pay for educators and support staff needs to be placed as a premium to maintain a quality workforce.

The Pflugerville ISD board of trustees unanimously approved a 2% general pay increase and a minimum wage of $17 an hour during its regular meeting in April. The increases keep salaries in above the local market median salary, helping the district remain competitive when recruiting and retaining education staff.

“Seventy percent of our new teachers are five years [of experience] and below,” said Chief Human Resources Officer Willie Watson. “We need to make sure we’re as competitive as possible since over two-thirds of our new teachers and new hires come from that area.”

The board’s actions also include an increase in starting salaries across the board for teachers ($57,700), bus monitors ($17 per hour ), bus drivers ($23.50 per hour), and registered school nurses ($63,750).

Utah Student Teachers to Receive Stipend in Pilot Program

During the 2024 Legislative Session, the Utah Education Association (UEA) prioritized creating a pilot program to pay student teachers for their teaching semester. At UEA's request, Rep. Karen Peterson sponsored HB 221: Stipends for Future Educators, which passed both houses and took effect in July 2024. The bill creates a grant program to pay students in an educator preparation program during their student teaching semester an estimated $6,000.

This move comes in response to 42% of new teachers in Utah leaving the profession within their first five years and aims to alleviate the financial burdens faced by student teachers, who are currently unpaid. This lack of compensation often leads them to take additional jobs or incur debt. The new law underscores UEA’s long-standing commitment to valuing educators but acknowledges the need for enhanced efforts in recruitment and retention. Approximately 1,400 student teachers are expected to benefit from the program.

Collective Bargaining is Back in Virginia!

Virginia educators are making history with collective bargaining victories across the state! Virginia lawmakers lifted a ban on collective bargaining by public employees in 2020; the law went into effect in 2021.

About a half-dozen local unions already have their first contracts; most recently, Virginia’s largest, in Fairfax County, inked theirs.

Fairfax's two contracts—one for teachers, counselors, librarians, school psychologists, and other certified educators, and the other for instructional and public health assistants, custodian and transportation staff, cafeteria workers, and other ""operational"" staff— include pay raises of roughly 7 percent this year, followed by average 5.5 percent raises, including step increases, in years 2 and 3.

But the thing that Fairfax Education Association president Leslie Houston is most proud of? It’s the new “just cause” protections for discipline and dismissal, which will go a long way to protecting educators from capricious administrators.

Collective bargaining guarantees educators a voice in the terms and conditions of their employment. That means pay, benefits, and working conditions, like duty-free lunch or planning time.

Victory for Overseas Educators!

Educators who work overseas for the federal government have a unique payment schedule: Overseas salary schedules are not computed until late in the school year, meaning Overseas educators are paid on the previous year’s salary schedule for most of the school year.

Thanks to successful litigation by the Federal Education Association (FEA), once the current year’s Overseas salary schedules are calculated in accordance with the law governing those salaries, the Department of Defense pays Overseas educators a retroactive salary adjustment to make their total pay for the school year current.

In 2024, Federal Education Association members worked together to ensure this retro pay was received, provided tools to help with compensation calculation, and collaborated with the Department of Defense to fix any errors.

When educators work together, our voices are heard! We can secure fair wages and the resources staff and students need to thrive.

Wyoming Educators Made Their Voices Heard at the State Capitol

Wyoming Education Association members know that what happens at the state capitol impacts schools and students. In 2024, they worked tirelessly to advocate for students and educators. Together they ensured their priorities were heard and impacted several key pieces of legislation during the budget session:

• External Cost Adjustment: Wyoming lawmakers granted an External Cost Adjustment (ECA) of more than $67 million to help districts keep pace with inflation and the rising costs of providing high-quality, equitable education.
• Gun-Free Zones: A bill was introduced and resurrected through un-democratic means that would have revoked public schools’ gun-free zone status. WEA members’ letters and testimony were instrumental in educating lawmakers about this dangerous issue. Gov. Gordon ultimately vetoed the bill.
• Teacher Tenure: Senate File 95 Teacher Tenure was a detrimental bill that sought to eliminate continuing contract status for teachers. WEA members successfully lobbied against and defeated this bill.
• Funding for School Facilities: WEA members advocated for, and successfully helped pass, funding for school facilities as part of the overall Budget Bill.
