Teacher Rights

No one ever expects to need a Teacher Rights Representative, but, just when you least expect it, you or a colleague need a representative. One of the legal obligations of the Fairbanks Education Association, as exclusive bargaining agent for the certificated employees of the District, is to represent teachers in matters pertaining to the application of contract language or discipline.

Teachers Rights committee members are trained to advocate for teachers in situations which can be very trying for the individuals involved. Rights Committee members are trained to react professionally and treat all information strictly confidentially. In short, the Teacher Rights Committee is here to protect your rights, maintain your privacy, and process disputes through our resolution mechanism (the grievance procedure).

The schools are divided among members of the Teacher Rights Committee in order to even the load for receiving calls. The following list provides contacts concerning teacher rights. Remember, your school's contact will simply bring any question or issue to the committee meeting and will not necessarily be the person who handles the problem.

Tim Parker and Leslie Conner are the 2007-08 Teacher Rights Committee co-chairpersons.

In case of an Emergency, please call the FEA office at 456-4435 and ask for Steve Laroe.
