Merger Approved

Last week, NESPA members approved the NSEA-NESPA merger with a 98% vote in favor!  NSEA members approved it with 90% in favor of the Framework!    

Thank you to all who voted.  This merger will make us more effective in shaping our work, schools, and futures.   

Next?     The NESPA Board and the NSEA Rep Council will each appoint several members who will meet together in February and early March to incorporate the Framework into modified NSEA Bylaws.   NESPA’s Board and NSEA’s Building Reps will be discussing these in March and voting on them in April. 

Our union values caring for each other and our students, and our merged organization will better reflect these values!
