Here is the latest version of the TA, accompanying letter of intent, a letter from the bargaining team, and our summary of the TA . The most significant changes are listed first, other changes next, and then a section explaining the improvements between the two TA's. Improvements, as compared to our current contract, are shown in green, neutral items in yellow, and negatives in red. Take some time to read carefully, including the important message from your bargaining team. It is our hope that, after reflective consideration, you will vote to ratify! We will be working in a number of ways to answer all the member's questions:
- Please email President Tom Klaameyer or members of the bargaining team.
- All-member meeting in the Bartlett HS theater on February 13, 2018, 5:30-7:30 pm.
- Contact your building rep if interested in having us (as available, may be our UniServ Directors, bargaining team members, the AEA President, or some combination) come to your site for vital discussions with members.
VOTE!
The electronic voting for ratification will open during the member meeting at 7pm on Feb 13., and remain open until 4pm on Friday, Feb. 16.
Anchorage Education Association represents over 3,500 active and retired educators in Anchorage. On your behalf, we have asked candidates to take a few minutes and respond to our survey questions that educators care about.
Candidate responses will be made available to our members in two forms; printed in a voter guide (responses truncated at 40 words) made available at the forum and posted on our website at anchorageea.org after February 8th.
Anchorage Education Association would like to thank the candidates for their service in choosing to run for this elected office and taking time to share their views with our members.

PACE is AEA's political arm. We only make recommendations in municipal elections (Mayor, Assembly and School Board), but will be working to keep members informed. We hold a candidate forum every year to help membership learn about their options in our municipal races. The committee meets every fourth Wednesday of the month at 4:30pm.
