Active education employees
(Teachers, Education Support & Higher Education Professionals)
MNEA membership is open to all education employees who work in K-12 public education, and in public or private higher education institutions.
The dues for active education employees in Missouri are based on the average teacher salary in the district where you work; dues for higher education members are based on the Missouri average teacher salary. New education employees are eligible for reduced dues, as are all new members in certain school districts.
Numerous payment options make MNEA dues easy to pay. You can pay by payroll deduction in many districts, by monthly deductions from your checking account or by credit card (the credit card option is available by telephone only).
To determine the exact amount of your dues and/or to join Missouri NEA, contact one of the following:
-
your local association;
