The MPE Philosophy
 1.) The welfare of students must be placed
above all other considerations. Our top priority is the education of children.
2.) Educators are
professionals and must be compensated adequately both with respect and
salary commensurate with the training, experience, and the
importance of their work.
3.) As educators, we encourage
respect for our profession through the practice of the highest standards of
personal and professional conduct.
4.) Teachers, administrators,
parents and students should work together to promote a positive
environment to promote learning. Each group must interact with responsibility to and respect for others.
5.) Students have the right to an uninterrupted education.
Therefore, MPE will not participate in strikes, threats of strikes, walkouts,
or other such actions.
6.) The teaching and practice of citizenship rights
and responsibilities in our democracy should be a high priority for every educator.
As individuals, educators should be actively involved in the political process. However, as an organization MPE does not participate in the campaign of any candidate or political party.
7.) Every employee and every group should have the right to appear
before the Board of Trustees. No one group should ever be privileged to the
exclusion of others.
8.) Educators should not be forced to join or pay
unified dues to any organization and we will work diligently to keep Mississippi
teachers from ever being placed in such a position.
