Contact Your UniServ Director
UniServ directors, Missouri NEA's field staff, are the front-line defense team for Association members. As full-time trained professionals, UniServ directors are available year-round to assist individual members and local associations in dealing with a wide range of problems.
There is no charge to members for UniServ assistance. It is another important benefit of Association membership. The $4 million Educator Employment Liability (EEL) policy offers valuable liability coverage, but the first step for educators is speaking with your UniServ Director.
Need help with a situation?
Call your UniServ director at the first hint of trouble. Many situations can be resolved informally in the early stages with an experienced advocate by your side. With six offices across the state, you can easily find a UniServ office in your area.
- Always ask the agenda and who will be present when told to attend a meeting with an administrator or supervisor.
- Know the evaluation process and steps to be followed. (Is it different for probationary and tenured teachers?)
- Before you agree to anything or before you resign, seek advice from a Missouri NEA representative or attorney.
- Ask for any disciplinary information or directives in writing.
- Know your district’s timelines for filing grievances and the evaluation appeal process.
