What is the $1.00 community outreach?

Community Outreach was voted in years ago by the WEA Representative Assembly delegates who are elected each year to make policy for the WEA. Outreach is designed to engage and inform the community about matters that affect education. At Soundview half of the funds are used to help with Caring for Kids (www.carekids.org), a charity supporting students in our districts who are on free or reduced lunch. The other half is used to support community activities. The outreach funds are approved by Soundview UniServ Executive Committee members. More information can be found on our website.

What is the $1.00 special assessment?

The 2022 WEA Representative Assembly approved a new special assessment. From September 1, 2022 until August 31, 2032, the annual dues of an active member includes a temporary monthly assessment of one dollar ($1) dedicated to the establishment, maintenance, and disbursement of a fund for scholarships for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) individuals who are pursuing careers in public education
