Handbook 25-26

We have several attorneys around the state that assist our members with employment or professional matters (i.e., termination, non- renewal). Since most educators do not use attorneys very often, once it has been determined that your situation is eligible for legal assistance under MPE’s policy, we work with attorneys who have extensive experience with problems like the one you may face. Are there things that MPE does not cover? While we protect our members if legal action is taken against them, we do not provide any assistance for our members to take action against their district or someone else. We do not cover affirmative legal action. For any new member or member who has a “break” in membership due to lack of payment, a 60-day waiting period exists before the member may ask for benefits under MPE’s legal assistance policy. MPE will not provide coverage to new or reactivated members for incidents for which the member had actual, constructive, or other notice at the time of joining or reactivation.

Please encourage your friends and co-workers who may not be MPE members to watch it, as the video features testimonials from several of our members about the benefits they have re- ceived from their MPE membership. This video is also available on the bottom of our homepage at www.mpe.org.
