Text Box: Support PSEA-PACE
PSEA-PACE is a political action committee established by PSEA to support candidates in Pennsylvania elections.  PACE is a voluntary contribution you can make to state and local candidates who support issues related to public education.  You can also voluntarily contribute to the NEA-Fund.  The National Education Association Fund for Children and Public Education supports pro-public education candidates who are running for federal office.  
If you are a new hire who would like to make a political action contribution for PSEA-PACE for local and state elections and/or the NEA-Fund for federal elections, complete the pledge section on the same enrollment used to join the AIUEA.  If you are an existing member who would like to contribute to PSEA-PACE and/or the NEA-Fund, contact Jan Pressman to have a contribution form sent to you.  You can make a one-time contribution or a continuous year-to year pledge.  Only 42 of our 400 members contribute on a regular basis to PACE.  We need your support!

Text Box: Critical Information for Members of the AIUEA:

Recently, the AIU Director of Human Resources, Dr. Michael Brinkos, e-mailed a letter to all AIU employees. Describing changes to the Pennsylvania School Code and an attachment, Arrest/Conviction Report and Certification Form.  Act 24 of 2011 requires that all current school employees certify whether or not they have been convicted of a Section 111(e) offense by completing a state form, PDE- 6004.  Act 24 mandates that employees who fail to return the form to their employer will have to submit current background checks at their own expense.  The AIUEA encourages all employees to comply with the law and complete form PDE - 6004.  We do realize that a few individuals may find the form problematic due to legal difficulties they may have encountered.  Please note that you are mandated to report convictions of the offenses listed on page 2 of the form.  You are not obligated to report any other offenses for which you may have been convicted.  For those individuals who have been convicted of any of the Reportable Offenses, you should contact an Association Officer or call the AIUEA contact number at 412-417-1748 as soon as possible.  Do not provide any details of the offense; just disclose that you have been convicted of one of the reportable offenses.  We will receive guidance from PSEA as to how the individual should proceed.  Please return this form to the AIU no later than December 27, 2011 in order to be in compliance with the law.
