AFLTA State Districts

The state is currently divided into five districts. Each district encourages teachers in that district to connect with each other, to join AFLTA, to attend the annual conference and to bring students to the spring competition. Occasionally, a district may offer an event for teachers in the area.

Information on the district and AFLTA events will be shared here.
