* State affiliate: Each state has its own NEA affiliate, and dues are set at the state level. These dues are often a significant portion of the overall cost.
* Local affiliate: Local associations within each state also collect dues.
* Membership level: There may be different membership categories (e.g., full member, associate member) with varying dues.
* Negotiated salary: In some cases, dues may be deducted directly from a member's paycheck.
To find the exact cost, you would need to contact your local or state NEA affiliate. Their website should provide contact information and potentially a dues schedule.
