The three Texas State Teacher Association local units are merging as one, meaning more political clout in Austin, more funding and an overall stronger entity, organization officials said.

"Locally speaking, I think it brings a sense of unification, which is obviously translated for many as strength and more power for both school districts," said Steve Sianez, organizational development specialist for the local TSTA chapter.

The Laredo chapter has a membership of about 3,700 teachers and education support professionals (ESPs), such as bus drivers. TSTA leaders soon hope to reach a membership of 4,000.
