Montana taxpayers foot the bill for woke politics at teachers union conference
November 27, 2024 // More disturbing than the content of the MFPE conference programming is the fact that Montana taxpayers had to foot the bill for educators to attend the union’s indoctrination. For decades, Montana law has required school districts to “close the schools… for the annual instructional and professional development meetings of teachers’ organizations.” Not only may teachers attend such meetings “without loss of salary,” but teachers who do not attend “may not be paid.” A similar state law permits school districts to schedule up to three district-paid “pupil-instruction-related days” for “teacher activities devoted to improving the quality of instruction,” such as “attending state meetings of teacher organizations.”
