UEA Legislative Team
Our UEA legislative team worked tirelessly to secure legislation that will benefit our students and schools while making every effort to block legislation that is damaging. Overall, it was a very productive session marked by record numbers in the education budget and the defeat of vouchers, once again. Please, share your gratitude with the team for all they do by reaching out to them at the contact information below!
