Member Focused & Member Led
At Red River United, we believe that every educator should be a member of a professional organization. Our mission is the empowerment of teachers and support personnel by establishing a strong collective voice and achieving high professional standards that reflect the value of public education. We promote the welfare of all children through better educational programs in safe schools that have standards of learning and conduct.
Reclaim the Promise of Public Education
We are at a critical moment when we must reclaim the promise of public education—not as it is today or as it was in the past, but as it can be—to fulfill our collective obligation to help all children succeed. Americans across the country are waking up to the fact that decades of top-down edicts, mass school closures, privatization, high-stakes student testing with sanctions instead of support for teachers, and other “market-oriented” education experiments haven’t moved the needle—at least not in the right direction.
Member Voice & Activism
Red River United believes strongly in taking classroom concerns and advocating based on the best interests of our members. Whether the subject is duty free lunch, planning time, maternity leave, or professional rights and respect, Red River United is there! The key to our success is proactively taking on issues, focusing on solutions, and ensuring that members' voices are heard.
The Unique You & RRU
At Red River United we respect the unique jobs of all who labor within the school system. Our PSRPs (Paraprofessional and Support Related Personnel) Committee and numerous President's Committees (Nurses, Coaches, Counseling & Mental Health, Art& Music, Security & School Safety, etc.) recognize that all voices and needs deserve to be heard.
