The 2012 NEA Annual Meeting and Representative Assembly (RA) is being held from June 27 to July 5 in Washington, D.C. The NEA uses this time to gather and discuss key education issues as well as vote on union policy. One issue clearly on the NEA’s mind is declining union membership. An Education Week blog reveals that by the end of the 2013-14 budget, the NEA expects it will have lost 308,000 members, meaning a decline in revenue.
Mike Antonucci, known for keeping a close eye on teachers unions, will be reporting live from the floor of the NEA conference. Be sure to check out his blog for the latest updates (and assuredly a few laughs) from the meeting.
