Who We Are
> K-12 Educators
There's no doubt that public education is a tough profession these days. Despite our talented South Dakota educators, none of us can make it alone without the help of a strong advocacy group.
Decisions affecting educators are not only made in Pierre. Through our UniServ program, SDEA members and local associations receive expert help in bargaining and contract representation in their local school districts.
While you are educating South Dakota's students, the SDEA working with state legislators and the Governor to ensure that our laws and policies benefit both the needs of students and educators. SDEA's Executive Director, President and Government Relations Director serve as your chief lobbyists with our elected leaders.
