For over 35 years the Fitchburg Teachers' Association has worked to improve public education for students. As of January 20th, 2007 the Association will be renamed the Fitchburg Education Association, serving four bargaining units within Fitchburg Public Schools. The FEA represents nearly 700 teachers, para-educators, secretaries, and custodians in nearly a dozen buildings.

The Fitchburg Education Association's primary objectives are:

To develop and promote the adoption of such ethical practices, personnel policies, and standards of participation as a mark of a professional.

To enable Association members to speak with a common voice on matters pertaining to the teaching profession, and those matters pertaining to the education support professionals and secretaries, and to present their individual and common interests before the School Committee and other legal authorities.
To hold property and funds to employ help for the attainment of these purposes.
To represent the membership and agency fee payers of the Fitchburg Education Association in negotiations with the Fitchburg School Committee as provided under Chapter 150E of the Massachusetts General Laws.
