MMEA Regional Structure

According to MMEA's constitution, the government of MMEA includes eight geographical representatives based on the region structure of the Minnesota State High School League. Every other year, MMEA members elect a representative from Regions 1-2AA, 1-2A, 3-4AA, 3-4A, 5-6AA, 5-6A, 7-8AA, AND 7-8A. This structure ensures that Directors on the Board represent all geographic areas of the state, as well as large and small schools.

Because MMEA members teach at all levels, there are some exceptions to this arrangement. MMEA has decided to place all schools in a district into the same region. Because of this, high schools in the metropolitan area are occasionally in a different region for MMEA than they are for MSHSL. Colleges, non-teaching and retired members have been assigned to a region based on geographic proximity. Elementary and middle level teachers are generally assigned to the corresponding high school to which their school feeds. As the State High School League adjusts its regional structure, so does MMEA, so these region assignments change annually.
