South Carolina Becomes Second State Affiliate Placed Under NEA Trusteeship

The South Carolina Education Association (SCEA), long plagued by membership losses and management turnover, has been placed under the trusteeship of its parent affiliate, the National Education Association, according to sources within the union. SCEA joins the Indiana State Teachers Association, suffering under debt due to its failed insurance trust, as NEA state affiliates now under the direct jurisdiction of a nationally appointed administrator.
NEA refused to confirm or deny the existence of the trusteeship.
Robert Bonazzi, the former executive director of the New Jersey Education Association, is SCEA’s trustee.
