We are...

a union for educators

FCEA is a union for Fayette County educators. We're the local affiliate of KEA, the 44,000 member strong, 165+ year old Kentucky teachers union, and NEA, the largest labor union in America. We work to ensure all educators have a stronger voice. We regularly advocate for higher salaries & improved working conditions, meet with lawmakers from both parties to make sure our voices are heard, and work hand-in-hand with district leaders to improve the daily lives of educators.

a democracy

FCEA is your only option for a democratic voice within your association. We elect our leaders and can hold them accountable. This is important because we exist to give all educators a stronger voice, and that includes giving them a voice within our association. In FCEA, our members hold the power, THEY make the decisions. Being a democracy empowers YOU!

more than just liability insurance

Liability insurance provides important on-the-job protection, which is why we provide a great liability policy, but this alone is not enough! It will NOT help in any of these situations:


Challenges to your certification, suspensions without pay, accusations of sexual misconduct or other violations of board policy, allegations of testing misconduct, Social Services investigations, termination, job lay-offs, demotions, disputes over leaves of absence, salary or retirement disputes, performance evaluation issues, abuses of your employment rights, unfair or unsafe working conditions, etc.


FCEA is your option for great legal coverage AND liability insurance!
