NEA President Wins a 3rd Term
The National Education Assn., the nation’s largest teachers’ union, elected President Mary Hatwood Futrell to an unprecedented third term Friday.
Ninety-seven per cent of the delegates at the NEA’s annual convention at the Los Angeles Convention Center voted for Futrell, said union spokeswoman Elvira Crocker. About 8,000 delegates attended the convention.
Futrell, who began her first two-year term Sept. 1, 1983, has been a classroom teacher for 18 years in Alexandria, Va., public schools. Her new term will expire Aug. 31, 1989.
