Fighting for Every Student, Every School, Every Day

The good news? FEA members vote at a higher rate than the average Floridian. The even better news? Parents and voters trust what teachers and education staff professionals say is best for our public schools. They know that educators, not politicians, should be making classroom decisions to ensure student success.

You will be making many important decisions on the 2018 ballot that will affect our students, our schools and our communities for years. Click here to see where we've collected resources to help you make those decisions.
