- Join during the last quarter = membership extends through the following school year.
Dues are non-refundable.

MSSA Member School Membership Rate:
K-8 districts: $150 base + $1.25 per student (per-student fee cap at $125)
Districts with a High School: $300 base + $1.25 per student (per student fee cap at $500)

D) Add-On Support “Tracks” (Optional — Membership Not Required)
Districts may purchase one or more MTPLC Support Tracks with or without an MTPLC Membership.

Membership is not required to add a Track. However, member districts receive discounted pricing on additional hours and other MTPLC professional learning benefits (workshops, courses, conferences).
Non-member districts may still purchase a Track, but additional hours beyond included Track hours are billed at the standard (non-member) rate, and non-member discounts do not apply.
Priority scheduling applies to Track participants (members receive priority over non-members when scheduling availability is limited)
You can select as many as you would like or none.
