Maine's teachers are on the front lines of education every day. We became educators because we care deeply about our children's future and we are committed to the success of every child.

Our classroom experience has taught us that the only way to guarantee our children's future is to put students at the center of education reform and make a commitment to:

 

•  Hold all of us -- teachers, students, parents, and elected officials -- accountable for our children's success.

•  Invest in the classroom priorities that build the foundation for student learning.

• Ensure that every student has a qualified, caring and committed teacher in the classroom.

MEA opposes major portions of Gov. LePage's education plan because they create more problems than they solve.
