Many educators sacrificed for the rights we take for granted today. When LCEA was first formed in 1969 it was founded by classroom teachers and administrators who saw the importance of joining together for the future of public education. Today, some of the same issues our founders fought for are what current educators, staff, administrators, students, and families are fighting for again. The strength of our community depends on great public schools. Let’s stand together for our future. ❤️

On August 24, 1967, more than half of the public-school teachers in Florida packed Orlando’s Tangerine Bowl, filling the stands and overflowing onto the field. The rally of perhaps as many as 30,000 members of the Florida Education Association (FEA) was in response to Governor Claude Kirk's budget vetoes and what the teachers saw as a lack of adequate school funding. The result of the rally – a threat of large-scale teacher resignations – laid the groundwork for a February 1968 statewide teachers strike – the first in the country. The strike ended on March 8 after the FEA and the State Board of Education reached an agreement and the teachers returned to work.
