Who We Are

The Keystone Teachers Association (KEYTA) was established by a handful of teachers in a high school art room in 1993. Grieved by the political endorsements of the teacher’s union, these educators decided that they could no longer support these organizations with their dues.

As a professional organization, KEYTA exists to serve the needs of Pennsylvania and Delaware teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, student teachers, support staff, and all public education employees.
KEYTA provides members with access to professional liability insurance, legal assistance, email updates, newsletters, state lobbyist that represent teachers in educational issues, state meetings, and much more. As a KEYTA member, you have guaranteed and immediate legal counsel at the onset of workplace issues.

We are not a labor union. We are a non-profit, 501(c)(6) professional educators association, created and led by educators. We do not engage in collective bargaining efforts but will assist any local teachers’ organization or independent local union.

Also, while we believe in personal and responsible participation in the political process, KEYTA has never endorsed or supported any political candidate or party as an association. We also do not use members’ dues to support non-educational social agendas. Members’ dues are allocated strictly for the benefits and services that best serve educators in their teaching capacity, and as a result, we are able to provide these services more economically than other teacher organizations.

Testimonials

Lisa, Grade 5 English Language Arts

I was tired of paying high dues and seeing my wages go to political parties and groups, rather than to education and teachers. I am extremely happy with my representation by KEYTA. Any time I’ve had a question or an issue, I’ve had a very quick response/reply. I am so glad I made the switch!

Colleen, Grade 7 Science

I love that KEYTA focuses on educational issues and stays out of the political support of candidates. I have also appreciated the support that KEYTA has provided during some challenging times.
