St. Lucie TIGER/COPE PAC

No union dues are used to endorse or contribute to candidates or elections.

Educational policy and school funding are deeply connected to decisions made by elected officials at the local, state, and national levels. Those decisions affect classrooms, salaries, benefits, working conditions, student services, public school funding, and the future of public education.

St. Lucie TIGER/COPE PAC is a separate political action committee. TIGER/COPE stands for Total Involvement in Government and Education Reform / Committee on Political Education.

The PAC allows members to voluntarily support advocacy for public education issues and candidates who understand the needs of students, educators, and school employees.

Important: Contributions to St. Lucie TIGER/COPE PAC are voluntary. PAC contributions are separate from EASL dues and are maintained separately from EASL funds.
