The SCEA Wins BIG for South Carolina Educators!

On August 15, 2012, The SCEA, joined by the SC State Employees Association, filed a petition in SC Supreme Court against Governor Nikki Haley’s, Comptroller Richard Eckstrom’s and State Treasurer Curtis Loftis’ action to increase public employees’ health insurance premiums by 4.6%. On April 24, 2013, the Court ruled in our favor!! The SCEA will continue to protect and defend teachers and school employees. The SCEA was the ONLY association for teachers involved in this lawsuit.
