Proposed revisions to MTA Resolutions are now being accepted. Resolutions are the organization’s statements of principle on issues relating to members, public education, the welfare of students, and human and civil rights.
A proposal for a new resolution or revision of an existing one may be submitted by any member.
The deadline for submissions to the Resolutions Committee is 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 14, 2022.
Submissions must be made in writing and signed by the proposer. The committee may also propose resolutions.
As a result of a change to the MTA Standing Rules that was approved in 2021, proposed resolutions are now due by the second Friday in January and no longer may be submitted at the Annual Meeting of Delegates.
All resolutions submitted by the January deadline are considered by the Resolutions Committee. Any resolution that receives a majority vote in favor from the committee is brought before the Board of Directors at its meeting in March.
To become the official position of the MTA, a resolution must be adopted by the delegates to the Annual Meeting.
