Educating the whole child is about education funding, and it’s about so much more, too.
Learn more about what we're doing to improve the lives of our students, educators and communities.
Education Funding
Public school districts across Massachusetts are facing growing fiscal pressures driven by uneven state aid, inflation and rising costs. The MTA is advancing a comprehensive legislative and budget agenda to build on recent funding wins and ensure all schools, colleges, educators, and students have the resources they need to succeed.
Safe Schools For All
The MTA is dedicated to addressing the mental health needs of both students and educators in preK–12 public schools. Guided by member-driven action and focused on statewide policy change, this effort brings together resources, advocacy, and training to support safe, healthy learning environments for all.
Climate Action
As educators, we have an important responsibility to tell the truth and educate students about threats to our environment and the solutions we need to pursue together.
Full-Service Community Schools
Full-service community schools are a powerful approach to supporting the whole child by connecting education, health, family, and community resources. Rooted in local needs and collaboration, community schools bring educators, families, and partners together to help students thrive.
