PACE is the IEA political action committee. PACE uses voluntary contributions from IEA members and their families to support pro-public education policies in Idaho.
PACE contributions can be used in several ways. Candidates who receive a PACE recommendation may receive funds in support of their campaigns, but PACE contributions are not only for candidates. PACE money can also be used to support efforts to improve education policy in the state. PACE dollars can be used to support initiatives, referendums, independent expenditures, and to raise voter awareness on education issues. PACE works year-round to help Idaho children and teachers succeed.

The IEA Political Action Committee for Education (IEA-PACE) collects voluntary contributions from Association members and uses those contributions for political purposes, including, but not limited to, making contributions to and expenditures on behalf of friends of education who are candidates for state or local office. Contributions to IEA-PACE are voluntary; making a contribution is neither a condition of employment nor membership in the Association, and members have the right to refuse to contribute without suffering any reprisal. Although IEA-PACE may request a specific annual contribution, this is only a suggestion. A member may contribute more or less than the suggested amount or may contribute nothing at all without it affecting his or her membership status, rights, or benefits in the IEA or its affiliates. Membership in IEA-PACE for the purpose of voting on the candidate recommendations is defined as an IEA member who has contributed annually to IEA-PACE a minimum of: certificated active member-$24; ESP active member- $12; IEA retired-$10; all other classes of IEA members -$5. Contributions to IEA-PACE are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
