Safe Schools for All Task Force

That MTA will create a statewide “Safe Schools for All” Task Force focusing on the mental health of staff and students in our preK-12 public schools. MTA will provide financial and staff support and will lobby for policy change at the statewide level, including but not limited to funding for safe staffing levels, behavioral support, para support and smaller class sizes. The goal is to pull all of the current and future resources for members to access in one place. Ultimately any trainings and/or a summit will be available to all members. The Task Force will report each December to the Board and conclude its work and make final recommendations to the MTA Board of Directors at the December 2027 meeting.

Co-Chairs: Donna Grady and Eric Simard
