PEA Committees

The Porterville Educators Association is forming educator-led committees to ensure educators are heard, supported, and recognized while strengthening our ability to organize more effectively as an Association. These committees will engage in advocacy, member support, and community service, helping elevate educator voice as PEA wants to meet regularly with School Board members and the Superintendent to share what is working, address ongoing challenges, and recognize outstanding colleagues.
