Change is here!
When delegates at the MSTA Representative Assembly voted last October to change the name of the Maryland State Teachers Association to the Maryland State Education Association, it was a historic moment, but one 
certainly in keeping with the Association’s long tradition of inclusion and advocacy.
“The vote was one of deep significance for our members,” said MSTA President Clara Floyd. “Above all, we are advocates for great public schools, and what makes a school great is the commitment of each and every member of that school’s staff.
“Becoming MSEA says to our members, parents, school officials, elected officials and the public, that every school employee enjoys the benefits of our support—whether it is at the worksite or negotiations table, in Annapolis, or as champions for their professional growth.”

Among the most important dates in the long history of the Association are those that reflect a commitment to racial equality and the rights of all public school employees. MSEA has won important battles to secure the rights of education support professionals on issues such as due process, improved wages and working conditions, and collective bargaining for ESP on the Eastern Shore.
