Your Rights & Workplace

We need the working conditions to succeed now—and ensure the next generation of educators joins us.
We believe in taking collective action to ensure the collective good. When we raise our voices, we help every educator get the support they need to join, stay, and thrive in our profession.
We need and deserve fair salaries and benefits. We need and deserve safe workplaces that respect who we are and what we bring to our students. We need and deserve the right to demand change. Let’s redefine the workplace—together.

Weingarten Rights & Due Process

As a public school employee you may encounter situations where disciplinary action is taken against you. Remember, you have rights and you need to use them.

Fair Pay & Benefits

Fair pay and fair benefits ensure the best and brightest can join and stay in our profession–for that’s what our communities deserve.
DSEA Member Jeannette Wilt
Teachers need safe, supportive environments to do their best work for students. When teachers are supported, students thrive.
