Fantastic news for all members that we have been able to pass a budget without requiring a fee increase, especially given our current economic climate.
Thank you to the Financial Committee for their diligent work to find creative solutions to make this possible. #ARA2023

Delegates have passed the budget with no change to the current fee, set at $1,347 for full time teachers and $202 for associate members. #ARA2023

[Alberta Teachers' Association @albertateachers]

Delegates at #ARA2023 have approved a directive that will provide support for teachers who are also first responders and wish to assist with the ongoing #ABWildfire crisis. ATA will cover substitute teacher costs for these members on leave to help with wildfire efforts. #abed
