The Mesquite Education Association was formed in 1958 under the name Mesquite Teachers Association. Dr. Ralph H. Poteet, who later became the Superintendent of Schools, served as the organization's second president during the 1960-61 school year. The name was changed to Mesquite Education Association in 1970.
Through membership in the Mesquite Education Association (MEA), employees have a voice concerning professional practices and are encouraged to participate actively in civic affairs. MEA members are represented by a body that is able to speak with authority to communicate with other Mesquite ISD entities and the community they serve.
MEA membership benefits include collaboration, professionalism, advocacy, scholarship opportunities, discounts, business casual jeans on Mondays, and other continually improving benefits.

FR Meetings
Meetings are held on the last Tuesday of every month, with the exception of November, December, and May. The FRs will receive important, fun, and money-saving information for Mesquite and the surrounding areas. You will have an opportunity to meet with Dr. Rivera and to win a door prize! Light refreshments are served at 4:00 p.m. The meetings begin at 4:20 p.m. and are held in the Boardroom at the PDC, unless otherwise notified. If you cannot attend, please arrange for an alternate to represent your facility.
FR questions are due by the end of every month during the school year, apart from May.
FR Questions provide an opportunity for MEA members to anonymously ask questions of district leadership that are of general interest to all employees. Submitted questions that are relevant only to a specific campus or situation will be referred back to the campus FR and principal for attention.
Answers to district-level FR Questions are forwarded to all MEA members through the association's newsletter. MEA members can submit FR Questions to the campus Facility Representative before the end of the month.
