How Are Our Dues Calculated?

Total dues amount is based on three components for the calendar school year. All amounts are added together and then divided into 10 equal payments (September-June) or pro-rated if changes are made during the year. By paying dues in full by October 30, 2020, a member is eligible for a $30 rebate. In addition, the MEA Representative Assembly passed a new dues structure that goes into effect for the 2020-21 membership year.
