Formed in January of 2013, the Action Committee is focused on activities and initiatives designed to fight pension reform legislation that, if enacted by the legislature, could reduce the pension benefits of both active and retired school employees. The Action Committee is open to any active or retired public school employee. Meeting times and dates will be posted on the PPSREA web page.

Concerns and questions for the Action Committee should be forwarded to:
