Act I is Over; Stay Tuned for Act II...

Based on an initial review of the U.S. Department of Education's plan for reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, it appears that despite some promising rhetoric, this blueprint places 100 percent of the responsibility on teachers and gives them zero percent authority, AFT president Randi Weingarten says.

Issue over Open Meetings Law resolved

 AFT-WV and WVSSPA are launching a major campaign to reform PEIA. The short-term goal is to provide all education employees, both current and future, with accessible and affordable healthcare. Our long-term goal is to ensure highly qualified and certified staff and teachers are employed in all our schools. Our students deserve nothing less.

We will have a media campaign to influence legislators, the public and a “ground” campaign to maximize pressure on those who ultimately have the authority to REFORM PEIA – your Delegates and State Senators.

Important information regarding PEIA and  dependent coverage.
