Frequently Asked Questions

Answer:

KEYTA’s insurance guarantees educators up to $10,000 in attorney fees for job protection issues.  If your position is threatened, your due process rights allow you to have your own representative present at disciplinary meetings.

We represent our members with personalized advice, assistance and intervention. We work to positively resolve all member issues keeping in mind that the law dictates what will be winnable from a legal standpoint. A great number of teachers are in their classrooms today because of our effective representation.

Answer:

KEYTA’s liability insurance and legal protection plan is $2 million per member per occurrence, with no group aggregate.  This means that each of our members is covered for a full $2 million regardless of how many claims are made within our membership group. 

Answer:

Classification – KEYTA is a 501(c)(6) professional association.  PSEA/NEA is a 501(c)(5) labor union.

Politics – KEYTA is nonpartisan. We do not endorse candidates, have PACs or contribute to political parties or political organizations. Our objectives are to promote professionalism in education and to do what is best for students. KEYTA works on educational issues and shields your dues against use for unrelated social agendas or other extraneous issues.

Answer:

Functionally there are some overlaps, (providing member representation, attorney assistance, liability coverage, additional insurance benefits, etc).

Answer:

KEYTA is non-union, not anti-union.  However, we do feel that educators should have the freedom to choose to associate or not associate with the organization of their choice without being subjected to mandatory union membership through “maintenance of membership” and restrictive resignation windows.

Answer:

If a teacher is a member of KEYTA, we can indeed help.  With your guaranteed access to legal representation, KEYTA’s insurance helps ensure that each teacher is treated fairly.  Furthermore, since KEYTA does not have a formal relationship with school districts, there is no conflict of interest when we represent our members.
