Legislative Information

Because JCEA knows that every educational program began as a political decision, we encourage member participation in the political process.

We also seek to inform the voting public by making "recommendations" on candidates and issues we believe "measure up" in support of public schools and our organizational values. This is done through our bipartisan small donor committee, JCEA-SDC.

This program is supported by voluntary member contributions. No members’ dues dollars are used for partisan political activity. Additional information about the JCEA-SCD can be found on our member-only pages.

A similar process is also used by both CEA and NEA in making recommendations in state and national elections. Read the Association's "measure up".
