The first week of July Emily Bergquist, Dan Beck and Gregg Martinson attended the National Education Association’s annual convention in Boston. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet with our colleagues around the country and become informed about issues effecting Public Education throughout the United States. The NEA convention is the largest deliberative body on the United States. Throughout the convention, educational professionals discussed a variety of topics ranging from charter schools to restorative justice to educational equity. We considered 153 different resolutions, amendments to the legislative agenda for NEA and the NEA budget throughout the conference. Feel free to ask Emily, Dan or Gregg what they learned at the national conference. We hope that this will better inform our work as a local union.
