We listen.

We are the local affiliate of the Washington Education Association of the National Education Association. We represent the interests, job benefits, working conditions, and legal rights of the employees of the Tahoma School District in Maple Valley, Washington.

Our role as representatives allows us to listen to things that are important to our members. By listening to our members over the years, we have bargained such things as the right to a duty-free lunch, planning time, and the responsibility contract.

To continue to serve our members, we need to hear from you! So, whether you want to lift your voice in a building meeting, or lift your voice as a representative for your building, keep talking. We're listening.

Representing dedicated quality professionals

Special Legislative session started November 28th

The Washington state legislature convened a special session on Monday, November 28th.

On the table for this legislative session, education faces the following cuts:

  • Additional 1% salary reduction for K-12 employees
  • Suspending salary step increases
  • Reduction in allocation for K-12 employee health care
  • Ending sick leave cash-outs for employees not retiring
  • Eliminating State funding for transportation (no school buses)
  • Eliminating National Board Certificated teacher bonuses
  • Eliminating funding for all-day kindergarten (RIF)
  • Reducing the school year by 3% (5 days/loss of salary)

Students have only one chance to get a quality education, and we need to ensure that education now, for current and future generations.

Some ways you can help:

  • Write to your legislators and tell them, No more cuts to education funding!
  • Take part in actions held by your local. Talk to your representatives
  • Take your message to your social networks: talk to people, post on your Facebook or Twitter page, email friends. Your voice is powerful!
