Tucson Education Association

TEA has also made improvements to both agreements through the bargaining process, providing additional growth opportunities for our Classified staff. Within the Consensus Agreement, we improved language regarding Exceptional Education students, decreased class sizes at the middle school level, increased extra duty pay, and provided protection for a... ll employees who took part in the 2018 Walkout. Lastly, we improved discipline procedures for all TUSD staff, requiring administration to engage staff members to a greater depth prior to administering disciplinary action. TEA has continued our growth, having increased our membership by 30% over the last three years. We have done so by engaging with our members, doing quality work, and sharing out with all TUSD staff the successes of TEA. It is going to be an exciting school year. Please make sure that TEA has your personal email address, as we want to make sure you are well informed at all times. Thank you for your support and engagement in TEA, and have a wonderful start to the 2018-2019 school year.Read More
