When school funding reductions result in more students in your classroom or cutbacks in essential programs and support services – it affects you and Wisconsin’s students. The public schools we have today are the result of the investments, ingenuity and commitment of those who have come before us. WEAC Region 5 represents public education employees. Whether it is school funding reform, health care reform, licensure and professional development, working together to close achievement gaps or organizing for fairer contracts – we are strongest when we stand together. And when educators stand together, we also help our students and our communities. We believe that together we can maintain our traditions and keep Wisconsin at the forefront of quality and innovation in public education. Feel free to learn more about the benefits that are available to you because of your membership, and please consider becoming more involved in your union at the local, Region and state level.
