Kansas NEA works with policy-makers to provide resources for quality public schools, to strengthen the teaching profession and to improve the well-being of our members.

KNEA regularly sends out reviews of the Legislative session and of legislative issues impacting public schools, teachers and students.

Be Engaged in the Process

Members can get engaged by signing up for Under the Dome , our electronic report from the Capitol issued daily during the session and on occasion throughout the year.

Consider a KNEA/USA Lobby Day trip to Topeka. Two days are assigned to each UniServ District during the session through a cooperative effort with the United School Administrators (USA) of Kansas. Get in contact with your local president, your UniServ Director or your UniServ President and let them know you want to participate.

Take advantage of our legislative alert system and use it to email your legislator on critical votes during the session. The alerts are embedded in Under the Dome, are posted here on our website, and are emailed to anyone who has used the system before. You can send emails to state and federal legislators, plus news media!

Talk to your local and UniServ leaders about getting local legislators to visit with the Association or take the time to go to forums back home to keep legislators on their toes. Legislators needs to hear from teachers, administrators, support personnel and parents every time they come to town!
