2020 MEA Scorecard

MEA LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD 

The MEA has made tremendous progress advancing the cause of public education during the most recent legislative session. Some of the key highlights include: 

  • Huge increases in state aid to local schools; the state is contributing hundreds of millions in state and federal aid to our schools to make sure we have the resources we need to open to in-person instruction during the pandemic  
  • Lifted the minimum teacher salary to $40,000 – a long time goal of the Maine Education Association
  • Required schools to offer pay averaging to hourly employees
  • Passed a bill requiring greater oversight of dangerous behaviors in the classrooms, and codified in law the need to make sure such incidents are investigated and addressed

And so much more . . . 

MEA’s success was due to the constant engagement of our members in the legislative program of our organization. But another element of our success was the composition of the Legislature. When pro education candidates are elected to the House and Senate we can make great progress for our schools. Below is a summary of how lawmakers votes on the key issues that matter to our public schools and our union with the Scorecard Bills Description highlighting the items MEA graded each lawmaker on resulting in a final grade from 0-100%.

 

Scorecard Bills Description

LD 1177:  Binding Arbitration 

This bill would have made salaries and health insurance subject to binding arbitration, whereas under current law they are not.  The current law gives our employers too much of an advantage and we have seen districts implement their own salary scale when failing to come to an agreement through collective bargaining so we can level the playing field with the employers.  The House and Senate passed this important compromise, but sadly Governor Janet Mills vetoed it.

LD 92 – Strengthening teacher voice in the evaluation process 

Sponsored by Representative David McCrea, Fort Fairfield 

One of the first bills the MEA advocated for this past session, LD 92 was passed by the House and Senate and signed by the Governor.  The bill eliminated the requirement to use standardized test scores to evaluate teachers and it also required that decisions about teacher evaluation systems in the future be made by consensus and that a majority of the evaluation steering committee is comprised of educators appointed by the local association.
