Fighting For Our Students
MTEA members work every day to provide our students with the great public school learning environment they deserve.
Attacks on public schools are attacks on our students, members and families and MTEA will always stand up and fight to protect our students, workers and families from political forces who seek to harm public education.

Collective Strength for MTEA Members
The 5,600+ members of the MTEA use our collective power to win for our students and our fellow members. From organizing for the public school funding our students need and deserve, to ensuring every MPS student has opportunities like art, music, gym and library, we know that we can win any fight when we stand together – union strong!

MTEA is the driving force behind advocacy efforts to stand up for public education and protect students and families from privatizers.
