Education Minnesota members mourn the loss of Ternesha Burroughs, who passed unexpectedly in August.
Burroughs, a high school math teacher at Park Center Senior High School, was deeply involved in the union, serving as president of Education Minnesota-OSSEO since 2023 and on the Education Minnesota PAC Board since 2018. She also served as chair of the PAC Board.
Burroughs was a strong advocate for her colleagues. She was a member of Education Minnesota’s Degrees, Not Debt team, which works to help members access PSLF and other student debt relief. She testified before the Legislature on many issues, including pensions and health care.
“She led with love, courage, and a vision for a better future for our schools and community,” EM-OSSEO said in a statement.
