SchJ_P01_S00_L00	Schedule J, Part I	Response to Form 990, Part VII, Line 5 - Members of the National Education ("NEA") Board of Directors are primarily employed in the education field at various school systems across the country. When a director is absent from their primary job due to official business of the NEA Board of Directors and the school system will not underwrite the cost for a substitute or the salary of the director during such absence, the NEA will cover these costs by reimbursing the school system or the director. The following school systems were reimbursed during the 2012 calendar year for the cost associated with their employees that served as NEA Executive Committee Members on the NEA Board of Directors. Christy Levings, Olathe Unified School District 233, $80,749; Paula Monroe, Redlands Unified School District $ 76,504; Princess Moss, Louisa County Public Schools, $ 58,782; Earl Wiman, Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, $ 127,979; and Joyce Powell, Vineland Board of Education, $ 108,022. The school systems that employ the remaining directors receive reimbursements from NEA ranging from $0 to $ 51,044. The average reimbursement is approximately $3,000.
SchJ_P01_S00_L01a	Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a	Reimbursements are made for the identified expenses according to NEA policy and taxes are withheld as appropriate for taxable reimbursements. The housing/living allowance is only offered to the three officers (President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer). The companion travel benefit is available to the full Executive Committee including the 3 elected officers. The discretionary spending account includes limited and capped travel and personal allowances for each of the three officers and the Executive Director. Travel allowances are capped at $5,500 per year and personal allowances are capped at $3,000 per year. In addition, the account is used to provide NEA Board members with a travel allowance of up to $1,200 per year. Because these are non-accountable plans within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code, the payments are reported as taxable compensation to all recipients.
SchJ_P01_S00_L04	Schedule J, Part I, Line 4	The following received a severance payment when they retired: Barby Halstead-Worrell $78,909; Maurice Joseph $72,033; Rufina Hernandez $65,710 and Richard S. Snider, Jr. $65,710. The following participate in a supplemental retirement plan: Dennis VanRoekel received a payment of $1,674.

F990_P01_S00_L01	Form 990, Part I, Line 1	(Also the response for Part III, lines 1 and 4a) The National Education Association of the United States ("NEA") is a not-for-profit organization incorporated under an Act of the United States Congress. Our mission is to advocate for education professionals and to unite our members and the nation to fulfill the promise of public education to prepare every student to succeed in a diverse and interdependent world. Our vision is a great public school for every child. The 2012-2013 Strategic Plan and Budget is organized around two Strategic Goals that represent specific, focused results that can be accomplished and measured in a given period of time and six Core Functions that represent the ongoing work of the Association . The Strategic Goals address two immediate key opportunities and challenges: Strong Affiliates for Great Public Schools - Preserving the voice of education professionals is critical to the advancement of public education in America. . In partnership with affiliates, promote strategies designed to enhance public education and assist affiliates in fending off attacks to member rights by providing financial support, technical assistance, field support, member engagement support, communications support, and facilitating the sharing of best practices throughout the Association. Uniting the nation for Great Public Schools and Priority Schools - All of America's students deserve to be educated in a great public school, and students at greatest risk must be a priority. In partnership with state and local affiliates, provide support and advocacy, build organizational capacity, foster Association and member led school transformation and pursue state and district level policies that support great public schools for all students. Struggling schools will be targeted for intensive support and lessons learned will be shared at the local and state levels. The Core Functions address key, ongoing programs and services essential to the NEA and our work:Research, Policy and Practice for Great Public Schools - Identify, develop and promote policy and practice that define a quality education profession. Incubate sound practice, gather key learnings that would benefit student learning, and define national, state and district policy that supports the advancement of Great Public Schools. Organizing - In partnership with state affiliates, engage members as a collective by supporting affiliates to activate our vast network in pursuit of the vision. Advocacy and Outreach - Advocate NEA's positions to policymakers, education stakeholders (with priority focus on ethnic minority communities and labor partners), and the public to influence policy debate and development, and to advance our members views and expertise about policy for great public schools for every student. Communications - Utilize the best communication strategies to engage members and the public. Business Operations - Administer the business operations in a manner that supports the changing needs and priorities of the organization and ensure efficient and effective infrastructure that supports good fiscal management, uses technology for innovation and strengthens NEA's human capital. Governance - Support leadership in their development and decision making to advance the organization's mission and vision.
F990_P01_S00_L03	Form 990, Part I, Line 3	The NEA is governed by an elected Board of Directors comprised of 169 voting members who receive no compensation from the NEA other than reasonable expense reimbursements as well as the nine members of the NEA Executive Committee. An annual Representative Assembly comprised of roughly 9,000 delegates, who are elected by NEA members and receive no compensation from NEA, vote on the annual budget as well as changes to the underlying governing documents of the NEA. Between quarterly meetings of the NEA Board of Directors, the NEA is governed by the NEA Executive Committee, which consists of nine elected members including the three NEA Executive Officers. The Executive Committee members serve as ex officio members of the NEA Board of Directors and have been excluded from the count of independent members of the governing body solely due to their role as officers of the association or their receipt of reasonable compensation and expense reimbursements in excess of $10,000, as disclosed on Schedule J.
F990_P06_S0A_L01a	Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1a	Our list of Board members includes only those as of the end of the year. Generally, terms on the Board end as of the end of the fiscal year. On rare occasion, a new Board member may be unable to begin their term immediately in which case the expiring Board member may agree to stay on until the new member is able to assume their position or a member leaves the Board before their term ends and a special election is called to replace that member. With 178 members it is difficult to track people who have served a partial year. Our system is designed to track when terms end so we know when someone is due to come off the Board. For a person who serves a partial year, their name is removed from our roster when the replacement comes on. It is the replacement's name that then appears on the roster next to the term ending date. In addition to the voting members of the Board, there are five non-voting members consisting of four at-large directors and one honorary member.
F990_P06_S0A_L06	Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6	The National Education Association is a member-based 501(c)5 labor organization that serves as the national voice for education.
F990_P06_S0A_L07a	Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a	NEA members elect Delegates to represent NEA members at the NEA annual Representative Assembly. Members or Delegates representing members elect the NEA Board of Directors, the NEA Executive Committee members, and the NEA Executive Officers.
F990_P06_S0A_L07b	Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7b	NEA Delegates elected to represent members at the NEA annual Representative Assembly vote on any amendments to the NEA Constitution, Bylaws, Standing Rules and Resolutions and approved the annual budget.
F990_P06_S0B_L11b	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b	Form 990, Part VI, Line 11a: NEA management and external tax advisors review the 990 and a copy of the final 990 is provided to all members of the NEA Executive Committee prior to filing. The form 990 is also made available to the Board of Directors prior to filing.
F990_P06_S0B_L12c	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	Officers, directors and key employees are required to report potential conflict of interest whenever they are aware of such. Procedures are also in place for others to report on conflicts of interest if they believe they have occurred. All employees are notified annually of the conflict of interest policy and their obligation to report. The NEA Secretary/Treasurer serves as the NEA Conflict of Interest Officer and receives and reviews all reported conflicts of interest.
F990_P06_S0C_L19	Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19	The NEA does not provide these documents to the general public.
