0 responses 0 comments Darla L. Bramlette, a classroom kindergarten teacher from Panama Buena Vista Union School District in Bakersfield, is excited to begin work as a newly-elected member of the National Education Association Board of Directors. 
“My classroom is constantly busy and buzzing with eager children ready to learn. Kindergarten is an exciting place to be, and I believe that great public schools are a right for every child. I strive to make great public schools a reality,” said Bramlette.
Bramlette, whose three-year term began on Sept. 1, recently participated in her first meeting of the 188-member NEA Board, one of the top decision-making bodies for the 3.2 million-member professional and labor organization.
Bramlette teaches at Amy B. Seibert Elementary School, and has taught for the past 14 years. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in liberal studies and a master’s in education.
“Darla brings a wealth of practical experience to the association’s mission that every child has the basic right to attend and succeed in a great public school,” says NEA president Reg Weaver. “She is committed to the fight for quality public education and is a tremendous asset to our board.”
The NEA Board is comprised of elementary and secondary teachers, education support professionals, higher education faculty and staff, school administrators, retired educators and students studying to become teachers.
