The Kentucky Education Association lobbies on behalf of its 41,000+ members on issues affecting children and public education. 

Our Legislative goal:

To provide the necessary funding for education to ensure that future generations of Kentuckians have the quality education they need to succeed.

To meet this goal, the objectives are to:

• Provide equitable and adequate funding required to advance the ambitious education reform initiative passed by the General Assembly.
  
• Provide adequate school employee compensation to guarantee the attraction and retention of the finest teachers and education.
  
• Support professionals to work with our children.
   
• Provide quality affordable health insurance for our public school employees.

The KEA Lobbying Team is made up of President Sharron Oxendine and staff who are at the Capitol daily.  For more information contact Mary Ann Blankenship at mblankenship@kea.org.
